Summary

from
Goodreads:

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…
