Dualed (Dualed, #1)

by Elsie Chapman

The Hunger Games meets Matched in this high-concept thriller where citizens must prove their worth by defeating the other version of themselves—their twin.

Two of you exist. Only one will survive.

West Grayer is ready. She's trained for years to confront her Alternate, a twin raised by another family. Survival means a good job, marriage—life.

But then a tragic misstep leaves West questioning: Is she the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future?

If she is to have any chance of winning, she must stop running not only from herself, but also from love . . . though both have the power to destroy her.

Fast-paced and unpredictable, Elsie Chapman's suspenseful YA debut weaves unexpected romance into a chilling, unforgettable world.

It reminded me of a cross between Divergent, The Hunger Games and The movie The Island. Was enthralled by the start and ending, but somewhere in between, there seemed to be far too much reflection and the main character West seemed to have lost her tough edge. Frustrating to say the least. But stick with it through those patches and you'll be rewarded.
