The Treatment

by C.L. Taylor

‘This gripping book will keep you hooked, whatever your age.’ Fabulous magazine The stunning YA debut thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Escape.

“You have to help me. We’re not being reformed. We’re being brainwashed.”

All sixteen year old Drew Finch wants is to be left alone. She's not interested in spending time with her mum and stepdad and when her disruptive fifteen year old brother Mason is expelled from school for the third time and sent to a residential reform academy she's almost relieved.

Everything changes when she's followed home from school by the mysterious Dr Cobey, who claims to have a message from Mason. There is something sinister about the ‘treatment’ he is undergoing. The school is changing people.

Determined to help her brother, Drew must infiltrate the Academy and unearth its deepest, darkest secrets.

Before it’s too late.

I haven’t actually read this, I’ve read like 50 pages, but I just can’t continue. The RRA is in Northumberland, and by the sounds of what I read, Drew is not. It also sounds like the RRA is the only one of its kind and yet, somehow Drew stumbles on a Tumblr of someone who happens to live in the same area as Drew? I mean what are the actual chances? There’s better odds of winning the lottery and yet, here we are and I put the book down after that but I just couldn’t stop thinking about it.

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Maybe I’m over thinking, maybe I’m fussy? But it just bugged me, the coincidence of it all and with no explanation, like the United Kingdom isn’t this massive country with millions of people.
