As the world falls apart around them, piece by piece, Abigail Fuller spends humanity's final days looking after her husband David.

But that's not true, not really. Abigail isn't David's wife. She's not even human. She's a replacement, built in the image of the real Abigail, who died sixteen years ago.

And in three weeks, when the law changes, Abigail will no longer have to do anything David says. She'll be free to go where she likes, do whatever she wants to do. But having never lived for herself, Abigail now faces profound questions about what she is, how she wants to live, and who she wants to love.

Perhaps she should start with herself.

Tender, powerful and thought-provoking, Some Body Like Me explores the boundaries of sexuality and the indefinable human capacity for love at the end of the world. Perfect for fans of Emily St John Mandel, Kazuo Ishiguro and Kaliane Bradley.

Industry Reviews

A tender examination of selfhood, the end of the world, and above all, love. Some Body Like Me is beautifully thought-provoking, devastating and hopeful - M.A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood

A very special book. Part thought-provoking sci-fi, part lyrical love story, I was entranced. Abigail Fuller will stay with me for a very long time - Gareth Brown, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Doors

This story is all at once compassionate, gripping, and devastating in the best way possible. Full of heart and the complexity of human nature - Beth Reekles, bestselling author of The Kissing Booth

Immaculate worldbuilding, thought provoking and paradigm shifting, it's evocative of Station Eleven, The Stranding and Blade Runner - Jo Callaghan, Sunday Times bestselling author

A propulsive, nuanced science fiction that asks deep questions of personhood, sexuality, gender, and what it means to be human. A triumph - L.R. Lam, bestselling author of Dragonfall
