The best part was that the ending was very satisfying and I will admit to getting a little teary.

It was interesting enough to keep me listening. The story moved along quickly and kept me guessing. The characters were nicely fleshed out and were all flawed and layered rather than being one dimensional. So now, here is what I liked: I enjoyed the fact that this book completed the story without unnecessarily stretching it out into a 3rd book. She seems to have problems with accents, but mostly did just fine. Why? The narrator did a good job and it helps that I am used to her voice/style from The Program. There is also a more nitpicky critique that a scene from The Program was related again in The Treatment but the brand of soda mentioned changed from Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi. This happened at least twice and I don't think it added to the plot at all so it made me wonder. I don't want to give anything away but as an example in The Program a character would say "This is XYZ" and in The Treatment the same character would say "Can you believe this is XYZ? I didn't know that". This is because it was as if the author was hoping that we'd all forget some of the conversations and scenes from The Program. I didn't love it nearly as much I would have if it had been a stand alone book. I loved The Program and couldn't wait to listen to The Treatment. Ultimately when the stakes are at their highest, can Sloane and James survive the many lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end?
