\"A shockingly unique story that redefines what it means to be human.\"<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

- Lauren DeStefano, NYT Bestselling Author of Wither<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"A deeply original tale of longing for identity, so skillfully crafted, the words float above the page.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

- Lissa Price, International Bestselling Author of Starters<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"A thought provoking first installment in a series that unflinchingly takes on ethically challenging topics.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

- Kirkus Review<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Addressing issues of identity, ethics, and choice, Zhang\u2019s concept is original and provocative. An abundance of questions remain, even after Zhang\u2019s well-orchestrated nail-biter of an ending. Zhang\u2019s singular premise all but guarantees that readers will be eagerly awaiting those answers in the next installment.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

- Publishers Weekly Starred Review<\/span><\/p>\n

\"It will be easy to categorize this book as yet another dystopian novel, but it is remarkable and will stand out from the rest.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

- School Library Journal<\/span><\/p>\n

\"This startlingly original concept provides a compelling gateway to intensely personal discussions of prejudice, stigma, identity, and loss. Debut novelist Zhang makes the emotional complexity of two souls sharing a body feel deeply real.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

- The Bulletin of the Center For Children's Books<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
