If you get heebie-jeebies from the Stepford Wives, The Echo Wife will make your skin crawl!
I looked up at least a dozen words because Evelyn is dang smart, but the book is entirely readable. It's a great blend of domestic drama and sci-fi (of which I'm not normally a fan). I loved how the characters adapted to new situations, especially when biology was against them. The book brought up thought-provoking issues of ethics, personal connection, and what it means to be human.
My only issue was with the ending. There were several little details that were never explored or explained. It seemed like the rest of the book took so long, yet the dust was all swept up in a tidy little pile in the final chapters. I also felt like the author missed a great opportunity for an enormous final twist with Evelyn!
Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book! Opinions shared are mine.
