I don’t know if this book is a masterpiece in general or just a masterpiece for me, in this moment I’m in. I’m too deep in my own experience that resonates too loudly for me to comment on writing or storyline. I think both of those things were enjoyable and interesting, but the overall experience of this book is the emotion and the characters. I can see this falling flat for someone who just wants a fun sci-fi romp and not a look at how parenting, society, and intimate partner violence shapes people and makes us question how much free will we have and if it’s possible to break the programming in a world that wants us pleasant, submissive, and unquestioning.

It's not quite clear to me what Evelyn's work actually is. Something with clones, obviously, but it's not clear what the clones are supposed to be for. Something more than organ donation if bone breaks have to be the same and conditioning is a thing.
The ending was inevitable and still chilling.
