Commentary Supposing Books The Originals
Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey Best grew up believing they were identical triplets. Then they learned the truth... and no one else can know. 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.

I would read literally anything she writes. This is her third book and yet again she does not disappoint with an original plot which throws up plenty of ethical questions for readers to consider. In 'The Originals' the story centres on three girls who give the appearance of being sisters but are actually clones. What I loved about this was that Cat never takes the story too far into the realms of science and although this is touched upon, the girls are
Very cool concept. I'd have liked it more if the author gave it a little hint of suspense. I read it in four hours, tops - which goes to show that it had me by the nose, regardless.Quick Story:Clones, Lizzie, Betsey, and Ella Best have lived a third of their lives since they've learned they weren't triplets.

Worried that they will be discovered she has become obsessed with protecting the girls and she insists that they pretend

Anti-climactic, but a harmless, quick read. I liked it.
Needs this now.Would need it even if it weren't Cat Patrick because that synopsis.But it is Cat Patrick.And I've read Revived. And Forgotten. (And I'm still madly in love with them.)Oh, I want/need/really, really, really want to read this.*eyes calendar* edit: Wait! This has a cover now? And no one told me? For shame.edit 2 (the actual review):Some families have secrets, some more shocking than others. Lizzie, Betsy and Ella's secret most likely more shocking than any secret your family's been
