[ARC Review] The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

 The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey is an absolutely fantastic story, a what-if between the Twilight Zone and the Stepford Wives.

Dr. Evelyn Caldwell created the Caldwell Method for cloning, a way to inject memories and personality into the clones her lab creates. But then the person she trusted most uses her own methods against her, and now Evelyn has to save her own clone if she wants to save herself.

Full of science fiction concepts and an in-depth look at the human condition, The Echo Wife was brilliant writing and will make readers think. Evelyn at the start was like many of us - proud of her work and feeling betrayed over what her ex-husband did to her. But then everything changes. And Evelyn changes. How is a scientist supposed to respond when her clones start feeling more than they should, start deviating from their programming when they shouldn't be able to? What is a cloning scientist to do when her clones act more and more human everyday? And how does a scientist go against her moral fiber and keep her greatest creation a secret?

The Echo Wife asks all these questions and more as the person who specializes in cloning becomes a study in the human condition. I devoured The Echo Wife and recommend it to both fans of science fiction and regular fiction.

A huge thanks to Tor Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read The Echo Wife in advance of its release date.
