A Book With Nonhuman Characters

I set the goal of this Reading Adventure as a way to work down my Kindle library of free e-books that I've managed to download over the past two years. However, it's also going to be a way to explore my library.

The first book I've read in 2015 is a book that I carried around the library for an hour before deciding to finally check it out. The teaser on the back of the book didn't fully prepare for what the book was going to be about, and that helped keep me reading.

Maybe the title should have led me to believe that this book involved clones, but I thought that perhaps Prototype was a metaphor.

The back of the book teases that Emma is looking to let go of her past - both of them. (Intrigue!) But her past comes back to haunt her. She returns to face the past, and realizes that she is more afraid of the present and the future it potentially represents. (So it's basically like my life, only she's a clone and I'm not.)

Running away from one husband, while running back to the other leads Emma on a journey toward a new life that I couldn't fully see coming from any angle. I still saw it as a tossup on which life she would end up choosing, but I'm glad she chose the one that she did. All any of us want from our past is a little closure, and I was glad that Emma was able to get that.

There was only one twist in this book that I expected, but the many that I didn't expect made this book an amazing library find. I normally don't enjoy books with nonhuman characters, but I'm glad that I didn't know about that part until I was well into the story.
