adventurous challenging dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.75

I was hooked from the first chapter! the first part of the book started with a lot of momentum and questions. I truly had no idea what direction the author was going to take this. would’ve been a 5 star but there was quite a few parts that did not need to be included. specifically the part with her daughters school, that was so out of nowhere it almost felt like a chapter from a different book? it was hard to take the intense focus off the story to shift to something that had no relevance to the plot. other than that I loved the main character and how she figured everything out in the end, it all tied together well

Repetitive. My lort, so repetitive. 

This could have been so much better. All of the building blocks were there to make this a phenomenal thriller - instead, it was 200 pages of useless dribble leading up to a less than climactic twist and a sub par ending. 

Zannah is a champ. We love Zannah. 
And Tilly. 

I went into this really hoping for some weird, Sci-fi esque story about clones and ended up with a pretty upsetting (and not in a good way) domestic abuse story. Ugh.
