Girl One: The electrifying thriller for fans of The Power and Vox

The story was amazing and thought-provoking. A very intriguing, action-packed, sci-fi, mystery thriller that will surely get your attention from the beginning until the end. An imaginative, dystopian theme exploring the ideas of virgin births and children with extraordinary abilities is something I find innovative and exceptional.The story follows Josephine Morrow, the first-born girl of the nine Miracle Babies, conceived without the presence of a male reproductive cell and was raised in a community called the Homestead. When a suspicious fire broke out at the Homestead claiming the lives of its two members, the remaining mothers, and their daughters fled to live quietly and inconspicuously in different states. Several years later, Josie pursued a degree in experimental embryology at the University of Chicago to follow the footsteps of his "father". A year after leaving for college, Margaret Morrow, Mother One, was reported missing. Left with a few clues from their burned house, Josie, with the help of a news reporter named Tom, tracks down her fellow homesteaders to find her mom.Narrated in the first-person perspective, the story is well-written with fully developed world-building and interesting characters. I loved that each chapter leaves you with a cliffhanger that encourages you to keep on reading. I love the surprising revelations and unwavering bond between the main characters. I wished there was more backstory regarding Dr. Bellanger's wife and his other son, Bobby.Overall, this book is a must-read for lovers of sci-fi, mystery, and thriller, I hope the author decides to write a sequel to this amazing book.I'm grateful to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review an e-ARC of this book.
