Synopsis: A suspenseful, cutting-edge novel about two parents who finally get the daughter they've always wanted--it's too bad she isn't real. From the author of We Hear Voices.
For Tamsyn and Ed, life is tough. They both work long hours for very little money and come home to their moody, rebellious daughter, Scarlett.
After a tragic accident leaves Scarlett comatose and with little chance of recovery, Tamsyn and Ed are out of options until a lifeline emerges in the form of an unusual medical trial. In exchange for the very best treatment for Scarlett, a fully furnished apartment, and a limitless spending account, the family must agree to move to Switzerland and welcome an artificial copy of their daughter into their home.
Suddenly their life is transformed. Tamsyn and Ed want for nothing, and the AI replacement, Sophie, makes it feel just like having their daughter back--except without all the bad parts. Sophie is engaged, happy, and actually wants to spend time with her parents.
But things take a turn for the worse when Scarlett makes a very real recovery and the family discovers that the forces behind their new life are darker than they ever could have imagined. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: Weird stuff is going on in this story! What I really love about fiction, especially science fiction, is that it allows us to imagine weird future stuff. I knew I wanted to read this one as soon as I read the synopsis. I was just so curious as to how this story was going to go. I really couldn't look away from this one.
It does deal with some sadness. Tamsyn and Ed's daughter has a bad accident and there's not a lot of hope for recovery. Her parents get offered a medical trial where their daughter is given back to them in the form of an AI clone. Things are going well, until they don't!
I really enjoyed this one. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. It was a good reading time. If this sounds interesting to you, I'd definitely recommend it.
