"The Living Image," at its core, is a generic - but well executed - thriller. Multiple organizations want Eve, and the protagonist's goal is to avoid any of them getting her. Unofficial ties between the organizations add complexity and dimension to the basic plot.What makes the story unique is the development of the relationship between Sabrina and Eve along with the way Eve changes, becoming "more human," as the story progresses. Imagine trying to understand why someone reacts to the world the way they do if you have no understanding of emotions and don't experience them yourself. Put yourself in the place of Sabrina's boyfriend Mark who suddenly has a person who looks like his girlfriend and shares all her memories. How would you react when you realize this interloper knows the details of all the intimate experiences you and your girlfriend have shared?This book could have used another round of proofing before publication. The issues I saw are all minor, using the word "suite" instead of "suit" or "marshall" instead of "martial" are two examples I found twice each. Although I found many of these type errors, well over the threshold where I assume it won't impact the reading experience, for me the kinds of errors and frequency were not so bad as to continually jolt me out of the story and had minimal impact on my reading enjoyment.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.**
