Hmm.. I'll have to think on this one. I loved the concept and the storyline, but something about it - particularly the climax - didn't gel for me.

Utterly beautiful The Lost Girl. Yes, she's lost. Lost in a cruel world where she has to fight for survival.She's broken too.She so badly wants to be a human. Her feelings are almost palpable. It's coming at strong waves toward me. It's exhilarating. My heart stutters here and then. I paused the bo...

Can this please please not be the ending?? I'd love to read more, maybe even from another perspective, like Nikhil's!

“Amarra used to read books about battles. Great heroic battles. Swords and shields and knights and honor. Battles like that don't happen anymore, yet I feel like I am caught in one.

If Eva's "other" dies, she will step in, seamlessly replacing the girl and living out the rest of her life in her other, Amarra's, shoes. Her whole life is spent learning to be just like her other: eating the same ...

I'm so disappointed. Based off the synopsis, and a particular review, I was pretty excited to read this book. It sounded amazing, and I still think that the concept is brilliant. I just think, maybe the execution was lacking. Eva is an Echo. She has been stitched together with a bit of essence f...

What if your entire life's purpose was to be used as a replacement for someone else? What if the world didn't see you as a person, but as an object? What if you knew that your feelings and desires were real, but just about everyone else discounted them? This is what life is like for Eva, created to ...

I liked The Lost Girl, but I did not love it. I felt as though the story deals with the topic of autonomy rather well and depicts it sincerely through the character of Eva. Eva is a believable character I felt, albeit a bit flat at times. I enjoyed her struggles to deal with being an echo and the in...

The Lost Girl was a really interesting sci-fi book with many direct references to Frankenstein. The ending was a bit open ended for my taste but otherwise I enjoyed it.
