The Echo Wife

I ended up a little on the fence about this one, I think because it turned into a very different story than the one I was expecting. On the one hand, the ending packs a lot of punch and really took me by surprise. On the other hand, it was not a very pleasant surprise.

Also, as a new mom, the part where Martine abandons her newborn to the murder clone is both heart-wrenching and hard to believe given what we know about Martine as a person. My brain just went, "Nope," and I think Martine's would too given that she is programmed to be a mom and to put her child first. I can't imagine she wouldn't have considered how to get the baby out during their plan, even if it meant continuing to fake her relationship with clone Nathan. Evelyn might forget to consider this, but Martine wouldn't

Other than that, I did enjoy the book as a sort of reverse murder mystery even though Evelyn herself is pretty horrible all around. Get a therapist, Evelyn. Seriously.
