About this listen
When Seb is offered a place on a radical retreat designed to solve the national crisis of teenage unhappiness, he is determined to change how people see him and make his parents proud.
But as he finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Finn, Seb starts to question the true nature of the challenges they must undergo.
The deeper into the programme the boys get, the more disturbing the assessments become, until it’s clear there may be no escape …

It was a phenomenal listen, Huw Parmenter is now up there with my top narrators, he embodies these character so wonderfully you are completely and utterly immersed in the story. The story itself is great and really highlights how venerable teenagers are, The ultimate reason that these teenagers have been essentially kidnapped (albeit with the parents consent) is a little weak, but all the characters are so good it really doesn't matter. Maybe this will strengthen in book two which I can't wait to listen to.
Very much recommend!
