About this ebook

'Seriously brilliant' CJ Tudor
'Chilling and compulsive' Cara Hunter
"There's something I have to explain, my love," he says, taking your hand in his. "That wasn't a dream. It was an upload."

Abbie wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. By her side is her husband Tim, the driven British founder of one of the world's most ground-breaking tech companies. They met when she joined his startup as artist-in-residence, their marriage a Silicon Valley fairy tale.

But as Abbie's memories return, she realises there's something missing from Tim's version of events. Because, five years ago, Abbie Cullen-Scott was pronounced dead . . .

Full of false stereotypes of autism & what it means to be autistic. This book can be upsetting to many readers & please, only read it if you can deal with it. WARNING: Misogynist, sexism, autism stereotype, A.I creepiness

another excellent story by J.P Delaney having read and enjoyed some of his previous books I was keen to read this one. it didnt dissapoint much like his previous works it twist and turns constantly and just when you think you've worked it out it flies off in another direction.
