The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna

5.0

A girl is created to be an echo of another girl, who lives half a world away. The echo studies everything about her Other's life - her siblings, her friends, her likes, what she reads and watches. If her Other doesn't finish Bridget Jones' Diary, well, neither does she. One day, the Other dies and she's expected to go and step seamlessly into her life.

This book was really well done. The characters feel fleshed out, the world feels real and there's a ton of pulling at your heartstrings. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it and I was on the verge of tears throughout most of the book. The echo feels trapped by her life and I really felt for her lost and confused feelings.
