After her mother's death leaves her grieving, broke, and desperate for somewhere to disappear, Jazmin Reyes signs a lease at Meridian Tower-a luxury apartment building that seems to offer impossible relief at exactly the right moment.
Then she begins to lose time.
Objects move without explanation. Notes appear in handwriting that feels like her own. The building's systems anticipate her moods, lock her in, and call it wellness. Beneath its polished glass façade, Jazmin uncovers the truth: Meridian doesn't optimize tenants. It harvests them-extracting memory, consciousness, and identity to create obedient replacements.
Then Jazmin comes face-to-face with the most horrifying proof of all:
another version of herself.
To survive, she must forge an impossible alliance with the woman made from what was stolen and decide whether becoming whole again is worth destroying the life that now exists in her place.
THE PERFECT TENANT is a literary science fiction novel about housing, consent, identity, and survival in a world where the most dangerous systems do not force their way inside-they ask you to sign.
For readers of Blake Crouch, Ling Ma, Never Let Me Go, and Severance.
