Bookroo's summary
Lia Kahn's life shatters after an accident leaves her in a synthetic body. Immortal and unfeeling, she is cast out by friends and family. Joining others like her, Lia navigates a world that fears and despises them. As society brands them as criminals for their very existence, Lia must confront what it truly means to be human. Can she find acceptance, or will she forever be an outcast in a world that demands a price for her new life?
From the publisher
Lia Kahn was perfect: rich, beautiful, popular – until the accident that nearly killed her. Now she has been downloaded into a new body that only looks human. Lia will never feel pain again, she will never age, and she can’t ever truly die. But she is also rejected by her friends, betrayed by her boyfriend, and alienated from her old life. Forced to the fringes of society, Lia joins others like her. But they are looked at as freaks. They are hated…and feared. They are everything but human, and according to most people, this is the ultimate crime – for which they must pay the ultimate price.
