Once We Were
Autor Kat Zhangen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2014 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Addie and Eva escaped imprisonment at a horrific psychiatric hospital. Now they should be safe, living among an underground hybrid movement. But safety is starting to feel constricting. Faced with the possibility of being in hiding forever, the girls are eager to help bring about change—now. The answer seems to lie in a splinter group willing to go to extremes for hybrid freedom, but as Addie and Eva fall ever deeper into their plans, what they thought was the solution to their problems might just be the thing that destroys everything—including their bond to each other.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
I am lucky just to be alive.
As the recessive soul, Eva wasn't supposed to survive this long, lingering in the body she shares with her sister soul, Addie. When the government discovered the truth, they tried to "cure" the girls, but Eva and Addie escaped before the doctors could strip Eva's soul away.
Now fugitives, they take shelter with a hybrid resistance movement. Despite growing tensions between Eva and Addie, they both throw themselves into the cause. Soon they've joined a splinter group willing to resort to questionable methods . . . but as Addie and Eva fall ever deeper into their plans, the girls must decide how far they're willing to go to fight for their new lives. What they thought was the solution to their problems just might be the thing that destroys everything—including their bond to each other.

Recenzii
Zhang’s precise prose skillfully delineates Eva’s unique first–person point of view, and the sisters’ intense relationship continues to be deeply compelling…fans will have plenty of reasons to be impatient for the third book in the series.
Lovely, atmospheric storytelling…Zhang has envisioned a complex, unique world and deftly brings it to life.
Praise for WHAT’S LEFT OF ME: “A shockingly unique story that redefines what it means to be human.”
“Zhang’s concept is original and provocative; the deep bond between Eva and Addie (the shifts between I, we, and she in Eva’s narration are especially haunting) and the mystery about why their society is so desperate to ‘fix’ hybrids are riveting. ”
“A deeply original tale of longing for identity; so skillfully crafted, the words float above the page.”
“An unsettling dystopian adventure of two souls trapped in a single body. ”
“Uniquely imagined…Zhang’s prose is lovely, and the plot is compelling to the last page.”
“An intriguing depiction of sibling relationships and the challenges of learning to live as distinct, though not physically separate, individuals.”
“the siblings’ desire for autonomy is intriguing, as is the exploration of the politics of enacting change.”
