About the book
When you immigrate, you leave a copy of yourself behind, an instance. One person enters their new country; the other stays trapped at home. Some instances keep in touch, call each other daily, keep their lives and minds in sync in the hopes of reintegrating and resuming a life as one person. Others, like Soyoung Rose Kang, leave home at ten years old and never speak to their other selves again. Rose, in America, never imagined going back to Korea until her grandfather died and her Korean instance called her home for the funeral. She doesn’t know that Soyoung plans to steal her body and her life. How far would you go to live the choice you didn’t make?

Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“super sick concept and i personally loved the execution. really slow pacing for majority of the book and then the last 15% goes at a fucking insane breakneck speed. it's mostly philosophical/introspective sci-fi and then BAM actiony sci-fi. Big fan of the Korean folklore + Bible + Odyssey inserts too. Def not for everyone but it's such a unique vibe im kinda obsessed”
