- Goodreads Description -


17-year-olds Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey Best grew up as identical triplets... until they discovered a shocking family secret. They're actually closer than sisters, they're clones. Hiding from a government agency that would expose them, the Best family appears to consist of a single mother with one daughter named Elizabeth. Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey take turns going to school, attending social engagements, and a group mindset has always been a de facto part of life...

Then Lizzie meets Sean Kelly, a guy who seems to see into her very soul. As their relationship develops, Lizzie realizes that she's not a carbon copy of her sisters; she's an individual with unique dreams and desires, and digging deeper into her background, Lizzie begins to dismantle the delicate balance of an unusual family that only science could have created.

I don't really know what to think of this book even though I've read it. You'd think I would know as its a yes or no answer. Did you, or did you not like the book? Well this book has me so confused as I have so many mixed feelings about it. I'm really sorry if this review doesn't turn out very straight forward. The cover is obviously very pretty but I prefer the other one that America got as it's way cooler. I feel like because it got so many good reviews that I should like it but I just found that it almost became a chore to read it.

I'll start with the good things, the character development was pretty good but there weren't actually that many characters in the story. It was a very unique plot-line which I loved because I've never read a story like this. After I hop you read my last post, What makes a good...?, and you'll know that I wrote a post about what makes a good protagonist. Well I found that in this story Lizzie was a very likeable character and I think she was a very good protagonist. Also, another thing about this book is that it's a quick read and it only took me like 2 days to read it.

The things that really annoyed me was that it's insta-love. From reading my other reviews, you would know I don't like it as I don't think it's realistic. I think this was a major factor that made me not want to read it as I just wanted to roll my eyes every time. I'm not saying the love interest wasn't likeable, I just don't like the fact that it was insta-love. Sometimes I found the storyline a little slow and boring so I had to struggle through it and it felt more like I was reading this for school.

I really hope my review doesn't make you not want to read as it was a good book, but it just wasn't for me. I think it's because I've been reading other amazing books that are worthy for 5 stars that this just lowered the standards of this book and I know it's unfair to compare book but...I just didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked to. But then again, I think all these feelings make it a good book as it makes me really think about it. Thank you for reading my review and I'm sorry if it was a little unclear.

In the end I give it 3.5 stars!
