The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
Expected Release Date August 28th 2012
Expected Release Date August 28th 2012
Eva’s life is not her own. She is a creation, an abomination—an echo. Made by the Weavers as a copy of someone else, she is expected to replace a girl named Amarra, her “other”, if she ever died. Eva studies what Amarra does, what she eats, what it’s like to kiss her boyfriend, Ray. So when Amarra is killed in a car crash, Eva should be ready.
But fifteen years of studying never prepared her for this.
Now she must abandon everything she’s ever known—the guardians who raised her, the boy she’s forbidden to love—to move to India and convince the world that Amarra is still alive.

Why I'm Waiting?
Very intrigued with the idea of training to become someone else. Then when this girl dies you have to give up your life and replace her. I can't even imagine! Having to kiss her boyfriend and pretend to be a daughter.

ReplyDeleteInteresting concept. Here's my WoW.
ReplyDeleteSounds a little bit like Never Let Me Go.
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about upcoming sequels in our WoW.
Very interesting plot for a novel, I don't think I've read a book like this so I'm definitely waiting for Lost Girl to come out. Gorgeous cover too! Great pick :)

Jup, I've seen this before and thought it could turn out very interesting. Not so sure if I should give it a try myself, though. It's not the kind of story I'd ususally pick.
ReplyDeleteNice WoW choice, though. Thanks for sharing! My WoW this week
I've had it waiting on my list for a while, it sure does sound tempting :)
