"Waiting on" Wednesday

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



This week's selection is:

THE LOST GIRL
By: Sangu Mandanna
Published By: Balzer + Bray
Release Date: Aug. 28, 2012
Preorder the Book: Amazon

Goodreads Summary: Eva’s life is not her own. She is a creation, an abomination—an echo. Made by the Weavers as a copy of someone else, she is expected to replace a girl named Amarra, her “other”, if she ever died. Eva studies what Amarra does, what she eats, what it’s like to kiss her boyfriend, Ray. So when Amarra is killed in a car crash, Eva should be ready.

But fifteen years of studying never prepared her for this.

Now she must abandon everything she’s ever known—the guardians who raised her, the boy she’s forbidden to love—to move to India and convince the world that Amarra is still alive.



Why it's wanted:
I love this cover and would probably read the book regardless of what it was about for that alone. But the story sounds really interesting as well - I want to know what Eva has to face.
