“As long as I'm with you, I know exactly who I am.”

What a fun, mystifying book. I didn't know much going in to it so I was a little surprised by the direction the story took. We do it all the time, don't we? Second guess a decision and look back on our lives and wonder what could have been if we'd made a different decision.

Interesting and fast-paced science fiction thriller. Solid 3.5. Holds together far better than most that I've seen with similar plots. Clever but I wanted more. ...more
