Published Or "feeling bereft" or "my words divorced from my mouth" which is fancy and I appreciate, but when you use it over four times within the span of 10 chapters, it gets old. I was loving the book.

This is more of an angsty teen romance with clones trope rather than a sci-fi series. Love and Friendship.

Also, I felt like the Duplicates were so unnecessary—I thought they were basically the same thing as the Similars. :) Thanks for adding it!My book!—and I'm so excited to share it with all of you.

How did they get from here to there?” I also noticed some plot holes, like when Maude hacked into Gravelle’s system to learn more about the stealth virus. There are clones and boarding school and little twists and turns (both expected and unexpected). But really, clones + boarding school pretty much sums it up.

It would have been great extending it to more books and adding more detail and plot build up.The definition of a page turner! The first half was insightful, poignant, and extraordinarily enjoyable. Clones. Welcome back. The first book in a compulsively readable duology, Rebecca Hanover's THE SIMILARS asks us to consider the consequences of our scientific creations. I was always interested in clone concept, but the only book I read about it was Never let me go. Moreover, I didn’t like Emma’s character at all.

Emma wants nothing to do with the Similars, but she keeps getting pulled deeper into their world.

Rebecca Hanover is the NY Times bestselling author of THE SIMILARS series.

All authors have to think about how much attention their descriptions will take. A story about family, self discovery, and belonging. I already said my biggest problem with the first book was the focus on high-school drama, love triangles and teenage angst, and the same applies to the sequel. They seem to have more hits than not, and a lot of their books have made their way onto my TBR. THE SIMILARS is a story about identity, about what it means to be an individual, about love and heartbreak and technology and the consequences of scientific advancement. The Similars had me hooked from the very first page. It was just weird, especially the transitions. There are clones and boarding school and little twists and turns (both expected and unexpected). I already said my biggest problem with the first book was the focus on high-school drama, love triangles and teenage angst, and the same applies to the sequel. It's about six teens who don't belong, but who must endure, living alongside the kids they were copied from. ( not that I expect a happy ending all the time), but this was a HUGE twist that just hurt my heart somehow.

It's not as important as the plot and the characters.

A story about family, self discovery, and belonging. You can just use "I say." Wow!

Loss and Heartache.

Pre-publication book reviews and features keeping readers and industry influencers in the know since 1933. I was always interested in clone concept, but the only book I read about it was Never let me go.

Mind boggling! Kind of The Islandish mixed with a soap opera, I'd say.I've been having a problem with the newer YA fantasy books lately, so it was nice to get a breather from that business. I loved it and would totally recommend!The Similars and The Pretenders are the perfect pair!

The idea behind the story is pretty interesting. ☆ Read this book if you're: Fan of a fast-paced & light sci-fi. Two stars. And it’s definitely something I’m still thinking about. Lots of passionate feelings and embraces, kissing- mention of a character committing suicide because his crush doesn't feel the same way.
