2.10.2021 - The Echo Wife

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

Many thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan/Tor Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new novel by Sarah Gailey - 4.5 stars for a genre-crossing great read!

Evelyn is a scientist at the top of her field, specializing in cloning.  Her husband Nathan wishes Evelyn was less work-focused, more focused on him, and willing to start a family.  Enter Martine, her clone, created by Nathan with Evelyn's research.  Nathan divorces Evelyn and plans on marrying Martine.  And let the games begin!

I'm keeping my synopsis very short - this is a great, fun read that takes future science possibilities and really twists them into a domestic drama.  You'll enjoy the book more knowing as little as possible.  Don't let the sci-fi aspect stop you from reading it - it's more sci-fi light, with enough science to feel real without making your head spin.  The fun part is all of the moral dilemmas created with having clones and the relationships between Evelyn, Nathan and Martine.  Full of surprising twists, you need to put this on your to be read list right now!
