I got this book out of the library, and I have got to say that I definitely enjoyed reading it! I recommend this book to any teens-young adults. It's a story with a very unique concept upon the 'life after death' notion. Basically, there's a girl named Amarra who died, and another person has replaced her. Of course, Eva, the 'echo' of Amarra, looks exactly like Amarra. But no person is exactly like another. The same says for Amarra and Eva. No matter what they believe, they will always be different.
'Her life begins when another one ends.'
Eva is not a 'human'. She's a person, just not a human, and made by the weavers. And she has been created for one sole purpose. To substitute a dead human, by the name of Amarra. She has been studying Amarra for 16 years, studying her, prepping her for taking Amarra's place. But nothing has prepared her for when Amarra actually does die in a car crash. Eva manages to stay 'Amarra' and things are alright. Until things go tragically wrong and people start to find out that she is not Amarra. She's Eva. And nothing is going to change that.
'If you pretend to love a boy,
maybe after a while you start to care.
If you spend months with the traces of someone else's
love and memories inside you,
maybe those traces become a part of you.
Or maybe I care because
I'm jealous of what Amarra had.
The kind of love.
That kind of freedom to love.'
This tale written by Sangu Mandanna tells of a girl who is torn between her love, her fate, her freedom, and herself. Who knew that a dead person could be so resilient?
*** I give this book a 9.8 out of 10!!!!***
