What’s Left Of Me

Author: Kat Zhang

A Hugo nominated debut, What's Left of Me is a provocative adventure. The first in the Hybrids Chronicles introduces us to hybrids Eva and Addie who must hide their hybrid identity because it is feared by the society in which they live. Everyone in Addie/Eva's society is born with two souls in their body. After the age of five, everyone in Addie/Eva's society has settled or chosen a dominant soul. When Addie/Eva haven't settled by ten, they're subjected to rigorous government testing. Eventually, Addie fools them all, showing that she is the dominant one and that Eva has left, but the ruse only lasts so long. Addie is being relentlessly pursued by a girl at her school named Hally, a girl who may have figured out her secret. Right from the start, the concept pulls you in. What would it be like to live with two souls in your body? What hooks you is Addie/Eva's relationship. The unfolding of Addie and Eva's almost twin-like closeness that makes this a compelling and unforgettable read.The story is told through Eva's eyes. We see her bitterness at being relegated to a secret who only communicates with Addie. When they meet Hally, Eva's willingness to risk everything just to be herself is completely understandable. Be prepared for an exciting thrill ride.
