Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.
This was an interesting take on identity and what ifs. The story was well-written and drew me in and I loved the concept. Everything was really well researched and while not possible at the moment everything seemed plausible.
I really liked the characters, Rosa in particular was interesting in her lack of identity and introspection, she's intriguing in the nature/nurture context as well, how much does memory and experience shape us? I also loved Elliot's musings, particularly near the end.
Joe was nice but going across country when you've only known someone for a couple of days was not a sensible idea or one to be encouraged. The whole plotline around Joe and the instalove with him was the main reason stars were dropped.
I felt like the scene with Althea was too brief after so much build-up, I think that more could have been done there. Also a small niggle but Rosa's internet friend in Japan seemed a useless plot-point. Why mention lying to your internet friend if nothing is going to happen, I expected a scene later with Rosa coming clean about everything, especially as it's implied she's going to leak the truth anyway.
3/5 stars.
