Hi. My name is Julia. I’m a Synth. And I’m here to find love…

Synthetic woman Julia Walden was designed for one reason: to compete on The Proposal and claim the heart of bachelor Josh LaSala. Her casting is controversial, but Julia seems to get her fairy-tale ending when Josh gets down on one knee.

Fast-forward fifteen months, and Julia and Josh are married and raising their baby in small-town Indiana. But with haters around every corner, Julia’s life is a far cry from the domestic bliss she imagined. Then her splintering world shatters: Josh goes missing, and she becomes the prime suspect in his murder.

With no one left she can trust, Julia takes the investigation into her own hands. But the explosive truths she uncovers will drive her to her breaking point—and isn’t that where a person’s true nature is revealed? That is…if Julia truly is a person.

Told via dual timelines, Jenna Satterthwaite’s twist-filled debut deftly explores the exhilarating point where artificial intelligence, reality TV, and bone-chilling murder mystery meet.

Was hooked quickly!

Brilliant writing, fun concept, taking on hard issues like racism (quietly via the synth), great pacing. I was quickly hooked. Bravo!!

Slow build, engaging story

I tend to listen to more non-fiction than fiction and this is not my usual genre of fiction, but I really enjoyed this book. It took me about a third of the book to get into it, but, after that, I was hooked. There are two timelines - one in the past and one in the present- which is an interesting way to build the narrative. There are also some surprising plot twists. If you’re looking for an engaging mystery/suspense novel that raises some intriguing questions about the power of remembering and forgetting, then I’d recommend this book.

Refreshing mix of genre. Loved every moment.

I hardly ever leave reviews unless I’m truly blown-away. SciFi-Thriller-Techno-LoveStory-Mystery-Thrill(er) Ride. It’s all here baby. I will definitely read/listen to this again.

fantastic story telling!

great story, kept me guessing, and lots of food for thought! well worth a listen.

Listen!

The narration was on point. The story was interesting and kept my attention. Somewhat predictable but still a fun listen.
