Publisher's summary

Can one girl take on so many identities without losing her own? Find out in this riveting companion to The Program and the New York Times best-selling The Treatment.

In a world before The Program...

Quinlan McKee is a closer. Since the age of seven, Quinn has held the responsibility of providing closure to grieving families with a special skill - she can become anyone.

Recommended by grief counselors, Quinn is hired by families to take on the short-term role of a deceased loved one between the ages of 15 and 20. She's not an exact copy, of course, but she wears their clothes and changes her hair, studies them through pictures and videos, and soon Quinn can act like them, smell like them, and be them for all intents and purposes. But to do her job successfully, she can't get attached.

Now 17, Quinn is deft at recreating herself, sometimes confusing her own past with those of the people she's portrayed. When she's given her longest assignment, playing the role of Catalina Barnes, Quinn begins to bond with the deceased girl's boyfriend. But that's only the beginning of the complications, especially when Quinn finds out the truth about Catalina's death. And the epidemic it could start.

Fans of The Program Won't be Disappointed!

I bought this prequel to The Program series on a pre-sale and anxiously awaited its release. What is always hard with a new book in a series is comparing it to other well loved books which is somewhat unfair. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it. As the author has said, this book is the "same world" as The Program but a different story. It was new and different with a very intriguing plot that stands alone nicely. The author really understands the teenaged voice without alienating an adult audience. There were many nods towards the future story, so I spent a lot of time thinking, "OH! So that is why..." which was lots of fun. The most fun was the patented Suzanne Young "turn everything you think you know on its head" twist. Delicious!

The hard part now is waiting for the next book in the series. Write faster, Suzanne Young!

Its ok if you have nothing else to listen to

The story is decent, but it's very romantically focused instead of on the story. Its like the author put a lot of detail into the sex scenes versus the rest of the story.
The performer also does amazingly offensive stereotypical voices for pocs and all her voices sounds the same.
Its meh overall.

This story is full of twists and turns. Loved every second of it.

It is a totally submerging story. Highly recommend the read. Hard to put down. You won’t want to stop reading every page, and the character is compelling.

Interesting story!

This was a great book! Kept me intrigued the entire time. It was different than the average teenage fiction story being published today. I highly suggest it.

Absolutely Amazing!!

This is my absolute favorite book series! I have never felt such an honest connection to the characters and their stories as I have in these books. The story of Quinnlan is an absolutely beautiful one that is equally heartbreaking. You witness a girl struggle with her sense of identity while searching for a place where she can call home and feel safe. The story between her and deacon and frankly all of the characters is captivating and beautiful written. Definitely worth a listen and read as are all the other books in this series. These books will always hold a special place in my heart. They describe the importance of mental health and our memories beautifully and the terrifying realization of what we would be without them or if they were altered. Absolutely amazing. The reader for these stories also did an absolutely amazing job captivating the story and the characters. 10/10
