Unfortunately this was too much of a domestic suspense (definitely not a "non-stop thrill ride") with a sci-fi spin for my liking.. I can't stand stories revolving around relationships where you wonder why these people got together in the first place and that's what The Echo Wife is predominantly about. There are also too many plot holes and conveniences, incomprehensible decisions and rationalizations by allegedly intelligent people, no world-building whatsoever and the ending was.. I don't even know what to say about it.

I mean, it held my attention, I read it in just a couple of days and overall I definitely didn't dislike it, it just clearly wasn't the book for me.
