Echo Boy by Matt Haig
Audreys father taught her that to stay human in the modern world, she had to build a moat around herself; A moat that makes Audrey different from the echoes: sophisticated, emotionless machines, built to resemble humans and to work for human masters. And when Audrey is placed in terrible danger, hes determined to save her.
