About this book
'It would still be me⌠they make it like me, look like me, smell like me, talks like me, feels like me⌠me.
And you⌠most importantlyâŚ
you get me...'
Welcome to a world where your partner can arrive by special delivery, you can replace your ex with a replica, or supplement your waning love life with regular updates. It could be the answer to all our problems⌠but what might we lose along the way?
