Books like Echoes of us by Kat Zhang


Fifteen‑year‑old twins Addie and Eva are genetically engineered to inhabit a single body, a living reminder of the divide between humans and hybrids. Determined to champion hybrid rights, they infiltrate a state‑controlled institution and covertly document its brutal conditions. Their mission becomes a dangerous act of resistance—each frame of evidence a step closer to change, but the stakes grow higher as the government clamps down. In this tense, youth‑centered science‑fiction adventure, the sisters confront the cost of hope and the limits of one body sharing the dreams of two hearts.
