Now, to the outside world, the Best family appears to consist of a single mother with one seventeen-year-old daughter named Elizabeth. Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey take turns going to school, pursuing extracurriculars, and even dating. Then Lizzie meets Sean Kelly, the one person who can help her realize she's not a carbon copy of the others - she's an individual with unique dreams and desires. Digging deeper into her background and her mother's role in her life, Lizzie begins to dismantle the delicate balance of an unusual family that only science could have created.Present Out Of Books The Originals

Who among us hasn't wished at one time or another that they had clones? I know I did. There would be so much more time in the day, because we'd share tasks, share the tedium of going to work, leaving the rest of the clones more time to relax because there'd be two or more people doing the task of one. Which then leaves behind the question of fairness, who would do the pleasant tasks, who would do the unpleasant ones, how would things be allocated? And that's not to mention the mess of the love3.5 starsElla, Lizzie and Betsey make up one person. Elizabeth Best. They may look like triplets but they're actually clones living in hiding. Their overly obsessed protective mom makes them live a life as one, so the girls separate their days by thirds. That is, till Lizzie did something unthinkable. She fell in love.The girls are so use to their every day routine that they wouldn't even think twice about changing it. But when Sean looked at Lizzie in a way that made her feel alive and noticed
You know you love an author when you haven't even read the books plot yet, or even been given a cover and you immediately know you can't wait to read it.*sigh* and now the loooong wait begins
"Until then, I'd thought I was a triplet.Little by little, it all came out after that.And now, little by little, I'm starting to wish I could send it back to wherever it came from."Would it be cheesy for me to say that The Originals was very original? Because it really was. The whole concept was unprecedented, at least I've never read anything like it. At the beginning of The Originals the concept was a bit disorienting and hard to buy but the author certainly made it work and answered all
This review appears on Happy Indulgence. Check it out for more reviews!The Originals is a unique book covering the life of three identical clones Lizzie, Beth and Ella who all live one life under their mothers direction. I enjoyed the blend of contemporary, sci-fi and mystery, it is a really unique concept that I havent seen explored before in YA fiction.The concept of these three girls living the life of one person, Elizabeth Best, was quite extreme, as they each split up the day into 3
Now this sounds epic! I love this author. She manages to blow me away with unique and epic sounding books every time. Loved Forgotten, can't wait for Revived and now this one :).
Interesting concept, rubbish writing.Characters are so flat that it's difficult to care about what happens to them. When will young adult authors stop thinking that music and clothing preferences are a shortcut to building character?!! Mentioning Facebook and iPods? Way to shorten the lifespan of your book.It was alright and I got through it pretty quickly - I just wish it had been written better.*spoiler*Oh, and could she just not be bothered about Betsey having any life at all? I kept thinking
