h3dakota 's review for:

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey
3.0

3.5 stars. It's a slow burn of a book, I'll warn you. I get the reviewers that reference Orphan Black (if you haven't watched it yet, WHY THE HELL NOT?!) and Westworld, though this book does have some similarity, don't expect it to be fully those either. The first 3/4 of the book are slow building and nicely detailed. The last 1/4 is very fast and has the reader appreciating the details that lead to the conclusion. It's an ending that really satisfies - it's not a rushed ending, mind you - you know the kind, where the writer seems to just be done with the story, does a massive brain dump & run? In this case, the speed fits perfectly into the story while answering questions the reader has along the way.

I also recommend reading the acknowledgements at the end, as it presents a deeper level to the story that you may not have thought about while reading it.
