Welcome to Litsy!

My daughter wins this one. I found this fun and full of twists and turns I didn't see coming. Truly a fun read.

My oldest daughter has been after me to read this book (and series) for.....a long time. Time for dad to step up and make his little girl happy.

Showing you the back, because the front shows a person and that‘s a kind of no no. There are no physical descriptions in this 1980‘s-1990‘s setting with one mysterious dystopian element. Ishi‘s prose is so simple, and yet… i felt the mystery. I carried it around with me between readings. I finished midnight before the Booker longlist was announced, which five days later feels like some distant past. But the feeling lingers still. Recommended!

“Never Let Me Go,” a special song of Kathy‘s, also refers to the fleeting nature of our memories. They go, too. When those fade, we are left with art or objects like old cassette tapes to remind us that we are not clones, that we have thoughtful souls deserving love and a search for life‘s full offerings.

Another book I was inspired to read after seeing the author at TX Book Fest.

5 women are cloned after being murdered by a serial killer. This is from the point of view of Louis, who was killed while running in her city‘s park.

An interesting aspect was that Louis had a daughter who was just 3 months old when she was killed, and her clone‘s relationship with her daughter.

The ending was unexpected for me, in a good way.

So pretty. Love a cut out cover

It was good. I read it pretty quick. Wish the ending was a little better but I did enjoy it.
