basiclich 's review for:

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey
5.0

Sarah Gailey continues to impress and enrapture with their premises that dig their claws into you and just keep tearing. I always think I've signed up for some big, high-concept thing, but as soon as it's been set up, the rug is swiped from under me and I realize that, once again, I'm being confronted with a very personal interrogation of humanity and self.

The Echo Wife in particular delves in to what it means to be human, and the answers aren't comfortable, and also aren't quite answers.

And while the core of the book is in the personal and intellectual, that doesn't mean that the hooky premises don't deliver! I found myself gasping aloud on the bus at yet another twist, another reveal. I loved this one. Can't wait for the next Gailey, as always.

I received a digital advance copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
