The Remedy was wilting like a lettuce leaf in the 3-star range for me — and then HELLO TO THAT EPILOGUE. How can three final pages change everything so suddenly and horrendously?! Basically this book is incredible.
This is a prequel to The Program, but you could read it as a standalone.
The premise is quite odd, with a company that allows you to hire people who will go take the place of a dead-loved-one in your life and coach a family through the grief processes. It’s “therapy”. It’s designed so the family will be able to “say their goodbyes”. ISN’T THAT KINDA CREEPY?! And the book definitely acknowledges that feeling because Closers get abused a lot by people who think their job is sick. But, ultimately, they do help the families get closure and move on with their lives.
There’s mystery and secrets because noooo one is telling the truth or giving all the details.
It’s totally an emotional read, but not exactly satisfying. I still have a bucketload of questions about the world. I spent the whole book feeling hot and cold towards it. I LOVED it one minute, and then had too many questions the next. Ohhhh but the ENDING IS TERRIFIC.
