"Fifteen-year-old Eva cannot move, cannot speak and cannot scream. In her world, each body is born with two souls. She has the misfortune of being the recessive, the one fated to fade away. But Eva never did. Ages:12+

I should not exist. But I do. Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else-two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? the doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't .... For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she's still there, trapped inside their body. then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. the risks are unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet, for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything. Praise for WHAt'S LEFt OF ME: ""A shockingly unique story that redefines what it means to be human."" Lauren DeStefano, New York times bestselling author of WItHER Ages:12+"
