Resumen del Editor

Thanks to cutting-edge technology, Morgan can temporarily take over another girl's body, get her in shape, and then return to her own body - leaving her client slimmer, more toned, and feeling great. But there are a few catches....

For one, Morgan won't remember what happens in her Loaner body. Once she's done, she won't recall walks with her new friend Matt, conversations with the super-cute Reducer she's been text-flirting with, or the uneasy feeling she has that the director of The Body Institute is hiding something. Still, it's all worth it in the name of science - until the glitches start....

Suddenly, residual memories from her Loaner are cropping up in Morgan's mind. She's feeling less like herself and more like someone else. And when protests from an anti-Body Institute organization threaten her safety, she'll have to decide if being a Reducer is worth the cost of her body and soul...

A wonderful story with a very interesting premise!

Let me start by saying that my wife is a HUGE Carol Riggs fan. So, naturally, when she heard that Carol Riggs was putting this book out in audiobook format she immediately recommended it to me. We actually have an autographed copy of the book sitting on our bookshelf.

This is definitely not my normal genre but man what a ride! This was such an interesting idea for a story that definitely put forward a series of odd dilemmas for Morgan to face. What happens when you swap bodies with someone to help get them into shape? What happens when something happens to your original body that is in stasis until you complete this task? So many thought-provoking scenes that really made me introspective about what I would do in the same situation.

An easy 5/5 and a huge thank you to my wife for recommending it to me!

Should be a movie!

It was so cool. I would love to see Carol write movie scripts! I'm in love with her ideas. This was wonderful. I was giddy when I was ready to buy this as a credit. Pretty awesome and original! It reminded me of Richard Laymon's book 'Body Rides' where a guy would invade bodies and do whatever he wanted to them. I also thought of Westworld, one of my favorite shows, when I finished this. I think it would be fun if people took over our bodies to get them into shape. Sometimes I used to think like that when my body is in pain. It's like 'Oh I wish I could get a new arm' because my shoulder has tendonitis, or if I could get brand new feet without bunions, or new skin without acne scars, or new stomach with sculpted abs. If only we could rotate our body parts out as if we were androids. That would be great!

Pretty good YA dystopian

It's a great premise, but takes forever to get to the meat of the story and then it ends pretty fast. The big exciting stuff happens the last 4 or 5 chapters. Good story, but not one I'd reread.

The narrator's voice is a bit high-pitched & annoying for me. Took a while to get used to her, but she did a great job with the pacing and was properly emotive.
