Other Bodies Book Review by Joel Ohman
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review, which I have given. I was not required to write a positive review and have not been compensated for it in any way.
For fans of The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and Divergent comes a YA dystopian/light romance with a strong female protagonist who is forced to question everything…
In a world where immersive VR suits distort what is real from what is not, and the AI Personhood Act blurs the lines between body and bot, the choices sixteen-year-old Hattie Martins faces are very personal.
Welcome to Hattie Martins’ dystopian Philadelphia, where everything is not as it seems…
Just as her life is looking up–a new job, new friends, a new date–Hattie discovers not all progress in her beloved, futuristic Philadelphia is for the best. Societal regrets can become personal regrets in an instant. Choices don’t always come with second chances, and when they do the cost can be unimaginable. How far will she go to undo her greatest regret? And worse yet, what will she become if it’s too late?
In a world where bots are equal to bodies, what does it mean to be alive?
In this blistering new young adult novel from the #1 bestselling author of the Meritropolis series, readers will question everything they know about life and reality in a unique dystopian adventure that is equal parts moral dilemma and romance.
Other Bodies Book Review by Joel Ohman
Even though this book is fiction, it covers current real life moral situations and questions along with the consequences decisions. These moral dilemmas and it certainly makes you think about how you think about things. Are you pro-life? How do you feel about it, etc? Is it okay for others and not you? Other Bodies Book shows another way to view this touchy but necessary moral debate. It will not go away so it has to be addressed.

This book was written to help change people’s minds about abortion and at what point life begins. For me at the point of conception, but to each their own. If you are open minded and would like an interesting fiction totally based on real life, check out Other Bodies.
