****
In an alternate reality, babies are born with two souls inside of them. As children, the two identities take turns controlling their body. Eventually, they "settle" - the dominant soul takes control of the body, while the other one fades away.
Eva and Addie have spent the past three years pretending that they have settled. It's not too hard; Eva has lost control of their body, so Addie's act is very convincing. But Eva is still there, and she can't help but wish that she had some power over their life. When a classmate offers a way for Eva to move again, the girls take it, even though it means risking discovery in a society where hybrid souls are seen as a threat.

I really enjoyed this book! The concept was super cool and seemed fresh in the world of dystopian future. Addie and Eva were interesting, well developed characters. I especially liked Eva for her strength despite her limitations, and for her strong desire to experience the world in a way she hadn't been able to do since she was little. Can't wait for the sequel!
