Overview

""Mary Shelley in the Bachelor era...feminist as hell."" --Katie Gutierrez, nationally bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know Hi. My name is Julia. I'm a Synth. And I'm here to find love... Synthetic woman Julia Walden was designed for one reason: to compete on The Proposal and claim the heart of bachelor Josh LaSala. Her casting is controversial, but Julia seems to get her fairy-tale ending when Josh gets down on one knee. Fast-forward fifteen months, and Julia and Josh are married and raising their baby in small-town Indiana. But with haters around every corner, Julia's life is a far cry from the domestic bliss she imagined. Then her splintering world shatters: Josh goes missing, and she becomes the prime suspect in his murder. With no one left she can trust, Julia takes the investigation into her own hands. But the explosive truths she uncovers will drive her to her breaking point--and isn't that where a person's true nature is revealed? That is...if Julia truly is a person. Told via dual timelines, Jenna Satterthwaite's twist-filled debut deftly explores the exhilarating point where artificial intelligence, reality TV, and bone-chilling murder mystery meet.
