Jeremiah, a dedicated employee, has just been recruited by his controversial company to participate in a research experiment where he is cloned, locked in a lush apartment and forced to watch his clone take over his own life.  Jeremiah does this willingly for the big paycheck and for the opportunity to take a break from what he believes is an unsatisfactory family life.  What I found most interesting in this book is that Jeremiah is forced to watch himself and his relationships as an outsider would.  It is a fascinating concept to consider.  When the novel focuses on the more thriller aspects of the story I began to lose a bit of interest.  Overall, it is a compelling idea but some of the plot details just didn't gel for me.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
