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.

'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

'A deftly crafted, stunningly original debut. I loved it from the clever first pages all the way to the jaw-dropping conclusion' - Andrea Bartz, author of The Spare Room

'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

'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

'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
