📚 SYNOPSIS 📚

Get ready to meet the other you.

Just upload your photo to get started. Using the latest facial recognition software, plus your votes, MeetYourDouble will find your doppelganger.

START NOW.

The idea is simple, vain, exciting. Tap the app, upload a picture, find your #deadringer – and if you like, set up a meeting in real life.

When Ella and Jemima connect, the resemblance is uncanny, but their lives are polar opposites. One is stagnating in her Northern hometown, while the other, an aspiring actress living in a multi-million-pound mansion, is a Chelsea socialite who knows she’s skating on thin ice.

Other than their looks, their only similarity is the desire to escape. Is it possible to hide in your double’s skin? And at what cost?

💭 MY THOUGHTS 💭

The synopsis to this book drew me in instantly. Imagine having an app that would find your exact double, and then you could go and meet your own doppelganger. What would you do?

I found this concept very eerie yet intriguing. There’s so much good that could come from finding your Dead Ringer, however, there are so many bad things that you could get up to.

When Ella signs up for the app MeetYourDouble little does she know what she’s landing herself into. Ella lives in a small community on Walney Island, where everyone knows everyone. She’s fed up and feels like she’s missing out on life. Most of her friends have moved on either settled down and had kids or gone on to pastures new.
Will MeetYourDouble spice up her life?

Then there’s Jem, Ella’s doppelganger. She is very outgoing and loud. Lives in London and is cruising through life without a real end journey in sight.
Will meeting Ella give her a different insight into life?

When reading this there was an undercurrent that something bad is going to happen. I couldn’t put my finger on what it would be or how sinister but it just made me feel anxious as to what would happen.

We read the story from both perspectives, here we get to see that despite having completely different personalities. These two girls are very similar in how they view life. Their views is what draws out the dark and eerie side of this story. Without sounding cheesy, you really go on a journey with these two. Where that will lead is for you to find out.

A dark and intriguing tale of two different girls brought together by their looks.
