Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t…

For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable–hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet…for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.


*MY THOUGHTS*
     When i first heard about this book, I was soooooo excited to read it. I was so intrigued by the premise and the cover was beautiful. But I learned my lesson again, never judge a book by its cover. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the writing and I liked the uniqueness of it all, but it just wasn’t for me. 
     It wasn’t for me because it was just a bit too confusing. All the different names of people and all the back and forth random changing… 0_0 That’s how I felt most of the time trying to decipher who was who and when they were them lol 
     Furthermre, i was confused as to why the hybrids posed that much of a threat. Like what makes them so scary because there’s two different people inside them? They were trying to sell the fact that there was two different people inside them and that would make them crazy, but I don’t think that. It would make things alot easier though. lol Two minds are always better than one in my opinion. 
     But although this is not one of my favorites, I did enjoy reading it. It was interesting to see the whole new exciting premise played out in my imagination and it was interesting to meet all the different characters.
