About this listen

Hi. My name is Julia. I’m a Synth. And I’m here to find love…

Synthetic woman Julia Walden was designed for one reason: to compete on The Proposal and claim the heart of bachelor Josh LaSala. Her casting is controversial, but Julia seems to get her fairy-tale ending when Josh gets down on one knee.

Fast-forward fifteen months, and Julia and Josh are married and raising their baby in small-town Indiana. But with haters around every corner, Julia’s life is a far cry from the domestic bliss she imagined. Then her splintering world shatters: Josh goes missing, and she becomes the prime suspect in his murder.

With no one left she can trust, Julia takes the investigation into her own hands. But the explosive truths she uncovers will drive her to her breaking point—and isn’t that where a person’s true nature is revealed? That is…if Julia truly is a person.

Told via dual timelines, Jenna Satterthwaite’s twist-filled debut deftly explores the exhilarating point where artificial intelligence, reality TV, and bone-chilling murder mystery meet.

Slow build, engaging story

I tend to listen to more non-fiction than fiction and this is not my usual genre of fiction, but I really enjoyed this book. It took me about a third of the book to get into it, but, after that, I was hooked. There are two timelines - one in the past and one in the present- which is an interesting way to build the narrative. There are also some surprising plot twists. If you’re looking for an engaging mystery/suspense novel that raises some intriguing questions about the power of remembering and forgetting, then I’d recommend this book.

Amazing story!

I loved the use of then and now. It worked so cohesively and the jumps always made sense and left you wanting another chapter. Phenomenal book!

Great story and great audio book

Many five-star reviews on the book delve into the main character and key plot points, so I’ll focus on what stood out to me.

First, the writing is excellent—polished without being over-written. Second, like any great mystery, the story cleverly scatters clues, inviting readers to piece things together. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the author threw in unexpected twists. Third, the main character is an AI/robot, and thankfully, the author avoids convoluted (an inaccurate) technical explanations designed solely to prop up the plot. Instead, the focus remains on the character, allowing the “scientific magic” to be accepted as magic.

Finally, the narrator did a great job bringing life to each character’s voice. She shows why we need humans to convey our stories and not a robot voice. No offense, Julia.

everyone knows this story, but it wasn't escalated to anything new or exciting, despite the futuristic premise.

I knew the premise of the story immediately and just kept hoping I was wrong. a red herring made me think maybe I was, but turns out I knew this story. everyone knows this story- but it wasn't escalated to anything new or exciting. it felt blah and predictable and boring.
