Creepy, smart, cyclical, intense, eerie, distant, balanced, fast-paced

The Echo Wife has been on my list for a while, ever since Sarah read and reviewed it (and made this incredible flatlay for it that I’ve included on my blog - check it out!). I’ve been meaning to read Gailey’s work because I’ve been hearing people sing praises for their work for quite some time. I have to say this did not disappoint. This book is a perfectly quick, summer, creepy book. It goes by quickly, but it has a lot of depth at the same time.

Quick Summary: Evelyn Caldwell is an award-winning scientist, known for her perfection of human cloning. In such a sensitive profession, she and everyone she works with abides by a wildly strict code of ethics in regards to her clones. That is until Evelyn finds out that her husband Nathan has used her own technology to clone her into a more submissive and docile wife.

The most outstanding part of The Echo Wife was how much of an internal monologue we get from Evelyn. The book is told from her perspective, and so we are really able to see her thought process. It’s so interesting to see her grapple with the ethical barriers about her profession that she has put up to shield herself from the work she is doing. It’s so interesting to see how those barriers are paralleled in her real life. But the way that Evelyn thinks does so much for the story because we see all of the internal conflicts with her morals and her traumas. Sarah Gailey walks on such a tightrope here to balance moral conflict and past traumas and somehow makes them parallel so well, it’s truly astounding.
