Only You is a tense psychological thriller about a desperate mother who gets a clone of herself to help with her baby. For readers of Gillian McAllister, Sarah Pinborough and fans of the TV shows HUMANS and SEVERANCE.

Elena and Stuart Roberts are struggling. Their newborn baby, Olive, has colic and neither of them have managed to sleep for more than three hours a night for the last month. Something is about to break. Stuart decides enough is enough. They need help.

And help presents itself in the form of More You, a company which offers a clone of you. For a substantial fee. But a clone of Elena might be the answer to all their problems; someone to be up all night, someone who Olive won't reject. Whilst Elena is hesitant, Stu can't resist the lure of sleep and the return of some normality to his life, and so a week later they are bringing their new addition to the family home.

Elena's clone settles in well, bringing balance and assistance where needed. And as the weeks progress, she begins to mimic Elena, adopting her habits, her mannerisms. Something which More You insists is all a part of the adaptation process.

But Elena isn't so sure. And soon neither is Stu. They are both starting to live in fear of the stranger in their home. And when one night, the clone's presence leads to a terrible mistake, Elena must make a decision which will change her life forever.

Reviews for The Other You

Really clever and thought provoking as well as being profoundly chilling with beautifully drawn characters -- Ajay Chowdhury, author of THE WAITER How would you react to sharing your home with your clone - would you embrace yourself and live harmoniously, or fight the claim your clone stakes on your life? Carys Green challenges readers with this question in another gripping and haunting story that will linger long after reading * Tess Mackey * Gripping and deeply unsettling, blurring the lines of identity and belonging. The Other You confronts human vulnerabilities in a way that leaves you questioning just how far ethical and moral boundaries can be -- Natalie Chandler, author of THE VOICES A chilling exploration of identity and motherhood... terrifying: if you could be erased by '""another you"", would anyone even notice you were gone? -- Elena Wilkes, author of THE BROKEN MARRIAGE Once again, Green has tapped into my ever-increasing fears around advancing technologies and delivered a viscerally uncomfortable ride. As if motherhood isn’t already challenging enough. Ripe for adaptation, The Other You builds a world in which we can’t trust anyone, not even ourselves -- Amy Beashel, author of SPILT MILK
