No one suspects what she's made of...After the sudden death of her father, Mila's at a new school, trying to fit in and falling for mysterious sexy Hunter. But her world slams upside down in a heartbeat when a car accident reveals a secret she never knew; a secret about herself. Mila is devastated to learn that her memories are just chimeras, her dreams untrue. She can't even rely on her emotions to tell her who she is. So how can she grieve for her father or feel the way she does about Hunter? And why is her mom running scared? Worse still, who are the creepy stalkers so desperate to get their hands on her...?
A teenage girl discovers her entire existence is a fabrication after a traumatic accident exposes her true nature as a sophisticated android. Mila struggles to reconcile her human-like emotions and memories with the cold reality of her artificial construction. As she navigates the social pressures of a new school and a burgeoning romance with a boy named Hunter, she must evade shadowy figures intent on reclaiming her. The narrative unfolds through a high-stakes lens, focusing on the internal conflict of a protagonist who can no longer trust her own consciousness.
This novel presents a narrative focused on the intersection of adolescent identity and technological existentialism. The premise suggests a fast-paced exploration of how a character processes the sudden invalidation of their life experiences. Readers likely engage with the central mystery of Mila's origins and the tension inherent in her attempts to pass as human. The story appears to lean into common tropes of the genre while emphasizing the psychological toll of discovering one's own artificiality.
