I’m not usually into science fiction, but this book held my attention throughout. The concept of cloning is usually introduced with a bit of a magical twist – but Gailey manages to dive deep into the potential science, leaving readers to wonder just how much of that is accurate.
The character development that takes place is astounding. Starting off with Evelyn as a conceited and narcissistic individual who genuinely will irritate most readers in her inability to care about others, she even surprises herself along the way as she starts to care for “specimens”. But Evelyn’s distance and walls are there for a reason – she’s been hurt by everyone she’s ever given her trust.
This book was clearly an ARC. There were sentences that needed further revising, and paragraphs that repeated themselves in content – but sometimes, that was on purpose. That being said, I did enjoy this story, but the ending was disappointing for me. It landed a bit flat in the end, unfortunately.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤 𝙒𝙞𝙛𝙚 follows Evelyn, a brilliant scientist experimenting with cloning, and Martine – her clone. But Evelyn didn’t make Martine. Evelyn’s husband did. And now he’s dead.
So now Evelyn has to decide whether to walk away from a clone she never wanted and who shouldn’t exist in the first place, or to help her. And there’s a twist: if Martine is discovered, all of Evelyn’s research – all of her hard word – would be destroyed.
The choices Evelyn makes determine the course of this book, but she soon realizes that she’s not the only one making choices and it’s not only her life she needs to take into account.
