If the way Sloane and James must hide their feelings to avoid being flagged by the handlers in The Program hooked you, you’ll love how Delirium treats love itself as a disease to be “cured.” Lena counts down to her mandatory procedure—just as Sloane fears the memory wipes—until meeting Alex cracks the system’s facade. The clandestine meetings, raids, and clinical evaluations mirror the tension of Sloane’s intake interviews and “adjustments,” but with a pulse-pounding romance and escape plot that scratches the same itch.

If Sloane’s blank spaces—and the ache of remembering what she’s lost with James—stayed with you, More Happy Than Not dives even deeper. Aaron Soto considers the Leteo Institute’s memory procedure to cut out a past that hurts too much, just as The Program promises relief through erasure. As secrets surface and choices tighten, the book probes the same questions that haunt Sloane after her treatment: what do we lose when we choose to forget, and who are we without our pain?

If you were invested in Sloane and James clinging to each other while The Program polices every tear, Shatter Me offers that same breathless intensity. Juliette is locked away for a touch that can kill while the Reestablishment seeks to use her, and her forbidden bond with Adam blooms under cameras and guards—not unlike Sloane’s stolen moments before the white-coated handlers close in. The chemistry, the whispered plans, and the constant threat of separation echo the emotional beats you loved.

If the grim inevitability of intake vans, the deaths of Brady and Lacey, and the institutional cruelty in The Program gripped you, this delivers that same raw edge. Todd flees a town built on lies with only a girl and a dog for allies, pursued by authorities who silence and punish dissent. The relentless chase, moral compromises, and gut-punch moments carry the same dark urgency as Sloane’s fight to keep hold of herself when the system closes in.

If The Program’s “treatments” and clinical euphemisms for erasing Sloane’s identity chilled you, Unwind will hit just as hard. Connor, Risa, and Lev are slated for unwinding—a sanctioned process that harvests teens’ bodies in the name of social order. The sterile logic, the terrifying Chop Shop scene, and the teens’ fight to retain personhood echo Sloane’s terror of being reduced to a compliant blank slate.
