My favorite!

My favorite book in this series! Absolutely loved this series. The way this book intertwines all 3 stories is perfect. A great ending to the series.

Excellent series, excellent author

I'm over the moon, impressed this author, and have devoured her work. This whole series was a banger. Super happy to have read it. My only critique is the egregious overuse of the word "flinch". I don't recall this having been an issue in earlier books, so I'm not sure why it showed up in this one. There were literal instances of it being used more than once on a page. And, the were several times when it used in a context that didn't even make sense.

Nonetheless, this series was excellent, and I highly recommend it! It's so refreshing to have someone who focuses on young protagonists, who actually understands that teenagers are also just people, not some foreign species, that anyone over 30 cannot understand. I appreciate the relatable personalities, and the extremely engaging story.

A Satisfying Conclusion--no spoilers

I first discovered Suzanne Young's book THE PROGRAM several years ago. It touched a nerve for very personal reasons and made me want more of the story. THE COMPLICATION is the 6th and final book in the series. When I rate a book, I rate it based on a few things and these are the reasons I have give the book 5 stars.

The first thing I look for is whether or not the story is a good one--did it keep me interested?, did it keep me wanting to find out more?, was I invested in the characters? Yes on all of these. Because I have read the other 5 books in the series, the world of The Program was very familiar and this book in particular brought back many of the characters I have grown to love and some that I have loved to hate. The characters are flawed and filled with self doubt but are also badass.

Another thing I look for is whether or not the book makes me think. There were so many times in this book that I thought about the choices that a character had made. What would I have done? Some of the choices were unethical and yet as a parent I really had to think about how I would have reacted in the same situation.

This is a YA title and I am not the target audience but I am a huge YA fan--I would have loved to have a series like this to read as a teen. It is exciting, thought provoking, and has a great if somewhat dark sense of humor.

THE COMPLICATION is the perfect end to the series in that it tied up all the loose ends and gave each character closure (in one way or another).

A word for parents: YA is a great way to talk to your kids. My daughter and I read the original PROGRAM book together years ago and it opened up a continuing dialog about suicide and other difficult subjects.

Loved the whole series

This series felt like I was watching a tv series. Loved the storylines and how the story went. This was perfect for my long car rides to work.
