The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
4.0
Weird. I read dystopian and liked it enough that I'd read the sequel if there were one. Is there one? 4.5*
It turns out I can handle sci-fi and dystopian when the world-builder only shifts an element or two. I found the concept of living as an engineered twin, your entire purpose to replace the original should something happen to them, completely fascinating. And then, when it happened, to see how it actually worked, how it didn't, how everyone involved felt about it.
There's no sequel to this, but I'd be completely open to reading it if it existed. There were enough openings left that it could happen. I don't think I've ever said that before about anything sci-fi or dystopian.
