This book follows Evelyn, a scientist whose only focus is on human clones. Her ex husband Nathan is also a scientist. We find out he stole Evelyn’s work to create a clone of her, a “better” version of her. Martine, the clone, calls Evelyn in a panic one evening and against her better judgements, she comes to the rescue.

I’d say this was more of a character driven book than I had expected but am glad for. It’s absolutely a science fiction novel, which is something that is somewhat out of the ordinary for me. I prefer fantasy or mysteries but when reading it synopsis at the library I was intrigued. 

I can confirm there was a lot of science in it, almost all of it I didn’t understand but was written in a way that even an uneducated audience like myself could easily work out what was meant. I did take a star off for the sheer amount of science but that’s truly on me and my lack of interest in that subject.

Martine has great character development throughout. Evelyn definitely grows through out the book but not in the leaps and bounds that Martine does. I enjoyed how honest Evelyn does become with herself by the end of their story. 

We find out a lot more about Nathan and his secrets- kept from both Evelyn and Martine. And the two, nearly identical women embark, together, on a solution to the many problems Nathan has created for them.  

My biggest issue with this book was that I personally felt it went no where. I think that is due to the fact that it is character driven rather than a heavy, twisting, plot. I say this while acknowledging that I love an action heavy book over character driven books typically. However, that in mind I didn’t love nor dislike this book what so ever. 

It was a decent read, that I wouldn’t pick up again but don’t regret my time with.
