What’s Left of Me was an astounding book. It tells the story of Addie and
Eva, two girls who are locked into one body. The book takes place in a society
where everyone has two souls at the beginning of their life, but usually by the
time they’re ten they’ve “settled” (which means one soul has taken complete
control and the other has faded away).
Anyone who hasn’t settled by the time
they’re ten is institutionalized because they’re supposedly a danger to
society. Addie and Eva are older than ten, and they secretly still haven’t
settled. The characters are very distinct without being over-described. Addie
and Eva are clearly different people even though they share a body. The plot
moves quickly but the author still takes time to reflect and talk about
memories. The story is never confusing, but it still is filled with mystery. I
loved this book, and if you liked The Golden Compass or If I Stay,
I’m sure you will too.
