Rezension von LucyI’ve always had a soft spot for YA dystopias from the 2010s. I had seen the movie back then but could hardly remember anything about it. That made it all the more exciting to rediscover the story through the book. I especially loved the relationship between Wanda and Melanie — how, despite being forced to share the same body, they developed a strange friendship filled with arguments, mutual respect, and understanding. I also found the world absolutely fascinating. A future where alien “Souls” take over human bodies, creating a seemingly peaceful but ultimately controlled society. The question of what truly makes someone human is always present. For my taste, there was a bit too much love drama. Without it, this would have been a solid five-star read for me. I would have loved to learn more about the “Souls” system and the world beyond the main characters. It’s a shame there are no sequels.
