Hi. My name is Julia. I'm a Synth. And I'm here to find love...
Julia Walden a Synth was designed for one reason: to compete on The Proposal and claim the heart of bachelor Josh LaSala. Her casting is controversial, but Julia seems to get her fairy-tale ending when Josh gets down on one knee.
Fast-forward fifteen months, and Julia and Josh are married and raising their baby in small-town Indiana. But with haters around every corner, Julia's life is a far cry from the domestic bliss she imagined. Then her splintering world shatters: Josh goes missing, and she becomes the prime suspect in his murder.
With no one left she can trust, Julia takes the investigation into her own hands. But the explosive truths she uncovers will drive her to her breaking point and isn't that where a person's true nature is revealed That is...if Julia truly is a person.
A wildly inventive, deeply felt foray into the dark borderlands between reality and possibility, creation and destruction. It's Mary Shelley in the Bachelor era, as unpredictable as it is inevitable, and feminist as hell -- Katie Gutierrez, author of More Than You'll Ever Know
The Bachelor meets Black Mirror (with a splash of Barbie gone dark) in this captivating, empowering, and wildly original thriller... A spectacular debut -- Megan Collins, author of Thicker Than Water
Made for You is a thrill ride that never stops twisting and turning. With its smart fusion of reality TV, murder mystery, and social commentary, this story promises an addictive and thought-provoking reading experience, while feeling unlike any other book you've ever read -- Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here
A genre-blending romp that kept me riveted. Satterthwaite has established herself as a force in the mystery universe, and I can't wait to see what she does next -- Kristen Bird, author of Watch It Burn
Part Black Mirror, part Bachelor, Made for You goes past the final rose and fairytale romance to explore the dark nature of human emotion told from the most unlikely of narrators: a synthetic person designed for love. A page-turner for reality TV and mystery fans alike -- Vera Kurian, author of Never Saw Me Coming
