The Body Institute by Carol Riggs
Release Date: 1st September 2015
Entangled Teen
Meet Morgan Dey, one of the top teen Reducers at The Body Institute.
Thanks to cutting-edge technology, Morgan can temporarily take over another girl’s body, get her in shape, and then return to her own body—leaving her client slimmer, more toned, and feeling great. Only there are a few catches…
For one, Morgan won’t remember what happens in her “Loaner” body. Once she’s done, she won’t recall walks with her new friend Matt, conversations with the super-cute Reducer she’s been text-flirting with, or the uneasy feeling she has that the director of The Body Institute is hiding something. Still, it’s all worth it in the name of science. Until the glitches start…
Suddenly, residual memories from her Loaner are cropping up in Morgan’s mind. She’s feeling less like herself and more like someone else. And when protests from an anti–Body Institute organization threaten her safety, she’ll have to decide if being a Reducer is worth the cost of her body and soul…

Oh, wow! This plot is creepy--great, but creepy. Now I understand the cover, which is amazing, just like Rosie C said. Thanks for sharing this, Lynda and Carol. All the luck with the book, Carol.
Thank you, everyone! Hugs! LOL Victoria--"great, but creepy." :)
I agree, Dezzy, plus it really suits the story.
There are creepy elements in the book... and that's what makes it so great! ;)

It's exciting when a writing buddy is successful.
It truly is, isn't it. Carol has thoroughly earned this success too...and more!
Not only is the cover awesome, but the book sounds awesome, too. I love sci-fi movies but for some reason can never get into sci-fi books, but this one sounds great. :)
Having someone exercise for you sounds like a great concept. Great idea, Carol!
A few catches... I knew it!
I want one. My body could use more workout, and I don't have any time left to give it one. Sign me up! I love this idea.
Yay!!! I'm so excited for Carol!!!
Sounds like a rad story! :)
He's right. Most covers just look cheap. And you know what they say... We judge a book by its cover.
rad.. love it! ;)
As much as we'd like to deny it, we so do judge a book by it's cover.
Now this is something I would say is quite unique. The story sounds fascinating, and totally new. Best of luck.
