What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
You invited her in. Now she wants your life.
‘It will be all right,’ Nellie assured her with startling confidence.
‘I’m here to make things better. You’ll see.’
Elena and Stu are barely holding it together. Their newborn screams through the night, their nerves are frayed, and their marriage is hanging by a thread.
Then comes More You: a company offering an impossible solution — a clone. For a price, they can have another Elena. One who is fresh. Alert.
At first, it feels like salvation. The clone is calm, capable, perfect. But soon she starts to pick up Elena’s habits. Her voice. Her smile. And in the quiet hours of the night, something in the house begins to shift.
When the cracks finally split wide open, Elena is forced to confront a terrifying question: if someone takes your place, what happens to you?

Critics Review
-
Really clever and thought provoking as well as being profoundly chilling with beautifully drawn characters
Ajay Chowdhury, author of THE WAITER
-
How would you react to sharing your home with your clone - would you embrace yourself and live harmoniously, or fight the claim your clone stakes on your life? Carys Green challenges readers with this question in another gripping and haunting story that will linger long after reading
Tess Mackey
-
Gripping and deeply unsettling, blurring the lines of identity and belonging. The Other You confronts human vulnerabilities in a way that leaves you questioning just how far ethical and moral boundaries can be
Natalie Chandler, author of THE VOICES
-
A chilling exploration of identity and motherhood... terrifying: if you could be erased by '"another you", would anyone even notice you were gone?
Elena Wilkes, author of THE BROKEN MARRIAGE

Once again, Green has tapped into my ever-increasing fears around advancing technologies and delivered a viscerally uncomfortable ride. As if motherhood isn’t already challenging enough. Ripe for adaptation, The Other You builds a world in which we can’t trust anyone, not even ourselves
Amy Beashel, author of SPILT MILK
-
Incisive, propulsive and twisty with a compelling premise, THE OTHER YOU gripped me from start to finish
Mahi Cheshire, author of THE LYING GUEST
-
This is a stunning speculative curveball through the domestic suspense genre.
