Waiting on Wednesday (58)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 

My pick this week:

The Originals
Cat Patrick
Release date: May 7th 2013
by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

A riveting new story from Cat Patrick, author of Forgotten and Revived.

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 love sci-fi, especially lately; almost all sci-fi YA novels Ive read I highly enjoyed so when I saw this one with a kind of cool (though very familiar looking) cover I knew I wanted it!

What did you pick this Wednesday?
Link me up! :)

  27. This one sounds so creepy and awesome doesn't it?

    Also, I agree with you about it looking familiar, though I can't think of what cover it's reminding me of in the slightest. :-/ If I look at it too long, it makes me a little dizzy. Haha.
