The Recovery

The Program was pretty great. There were some plotholes but an attractive storyline I was immersed in. The Treatment seemed to be going okay too but out of no where the climax happens and the book ends. And you think "okay okay, there's 4 more books to wrap it all up and look forward to". But wait! Turns out that Sloane and James' storyline ends there? Like 20 pages after the climax?? After so much was going down? And turns out there's this "2.5" which doesn't even to begin to satisfy those plotholes. It just brings out even more?? I'm just frustrated that I have to fix the book myself in my head haha. Good luck!

I honestly don't know if this story made me like Realm some or hate him more than I already did. He is too flip floppy for me, and his character is very whiny. I also hated how he treated Dallas in "The Treatment", and after learning even more about their past, I got even more furious. He had something real with Dallas, but all he cared about was Sloane, and that relationship seemed forced. If I were Dallas, I would not have forgiven him or taken him back. I don't know. A lot of the relationships in this series seemed forced to me. Same with Corrine. She, genuinely, seemed to like Realm, but he turned her down. He continuously turned down girls who actually, truly, cared for him, but then he has the nerve to whine about being lonely, or being an unrequited love, or saying guys like James have it easy. No, guys like you are just dumb and blind. Yeah, this story made me hate him more. The only good thing about this was James and Dallas were in it, and I love those two. I wish they were a couple. Sloane and Realm deserve each other because they both suck!!

I was so happy to read in Realm’s point of view. I was also happy to get a better understanding of his and James’ friendship. This journey to redemption he is on is a hard one. I felt so sad for him and for James. Also for Dallas. I hope Realm and Dallas can at least be friends. I’m so glad I read this. I’m ready for the next book!
