---------------------
I am lucky just to be alive.Eva was never supposed to have survived this long. As the recessive soul, she should have faded away years ago. Instead, she lingers in the body she shares with her sister soul, Addie. When the government discovered the truth, they tried to “cure” the girls, but Eva and Addie escaped before the doctors could strip Eva’s soul away.
Now fugitives, Eva and Addie find shelter with a group of hybrids who run an underground resistance. Surrounded by others like them, the girls learn how to temporarily disappear to give each soul some much-needed privacy. Eva is thrilled at the chance to be alone with Ryan, the boy she’s falling for, but troubled by the growing chasm between her and Addie. Despite clashes over their shared body, both girls are eager to join the rebellion.
Yet as they are drawn deeper into the escalating violence, they start to wonder: How far are they willing to go to fight for hybrid freedom? Faced with uncertainty and incredible danger, their answers may tear them apart forever.
In the riveting sequel to What’s Left of Me, Addie and Eva struggle to share a body as they join in the rebellion against the government that would destroy them.
After escaping imprisonment, Addie and Eva are taken in by a hybrid underground movement. There, each learns how to disappear temporarily to give the other some much-needed privacy. Eva is thrilled to be alone with Ryan, but tensions rise as the girls clash over their shared body. And while both girls are eager to join the resistance battling for hybrid freedom, how far are they willing to go? And will their choices tear them apart?
Once We Were explores the search for identity, independence, and love with the same beautiful language and emotional depth that captivated readers in What’s Left of Me and is perfect for fans of Ally Condie, Lauren Oliver, and Scott Westerfeld.
