This book is the sequel to the YA sci-fi, THE BODY INSTITUTE. SPARES: the body swapping continues.Sixteen-year-old Lexi Moore is obsessed with going to illegal junk food parties. This doesn't exactly mesh well with her mother being a National Health Care councilwoman and staunch supporter of The Body Institute. The Institute's method of losing weight-downloading the minds of workers into client bodies-has always been controversial. A widespread petition nearly shut it down. Lexi has also heard ugly claims about its supply of reusable, mind-stripped bodies called Spares. Her family's longtime friend, Leo Behr, has lost his job at the Institute during the whistleblowing fallout, and the questionable Spares project is no longer in existence. Or...is it? When her mother hijacks Lexi's body one night to replace her mind with a Reducer's, Lexi awakens six weeks later to find herself thirteen pounds lighter. Not only that, her best friend has disappeared. Feeling betrayed and suspecting the Spares project has been revived, Lexi launches her own investigation into her friend's whereabouts. With the help of a hot guy named Ajeet whom her BFF has targeted for romance, Lexi must expose the body-swapping corruption and rescue her friend-without being turned into a mindless shell herself.
