Once We Were by Kat Zhang6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() They don't have anyone in their head talking to them. ![]() Such as, one soul can drift away for a while, so that the soul that is controlling the body has complete control. We also got to learn more about what hybrids can do. At the end he does try and make things right. Though he made mistakes he did get Addie out of her shell more. They had this air about them that didn't settle with me. We get introduced to new characters and a lot of them I didn't like. She becomes a stronger character than she was in the beginning. We get to see how Eva grows throughout the book and see how she starts to make her own choices. Out of the two girls I like Eva more than Addie. In this book Eva gets control of their body a lot more and I really liked that she did. Soon Eva starts to get control over their body very slowly and with help. In What's Left Of Me Addie is the one that is controlling Addie and Eva's body. That's the only bad thing about this one. It didn't go as fast as the first one did. Though I enjoyed this installment very much it was slow to me. When they hit a certain age that they just become one soul, while others stay as two. I love the whole concept of every human being born with two souls in one body. I have been wanting to read this since I read the arc of What's Left Of Me. It felt good to be back in the hybrid world. ![]()

But, like all fears, the solution is to face the anxiety head-on. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. During the course of this issue’s production, some of our writers found themselves besieged by droughts or storms, some were even forced to flee their homes due to wildfires and floods.
