A girl named Emma and her friends are attending senior year at a high school called “Darkwood.” In the school, a group of kids Emma are friends with are clones. Emma’s crush, Levi, is also a clone of her best friend, Oliver. Emma suddenly reveals to have special powers just like the clones, and an anti-clone group starts in her school led by a girl named Harlowe. On top of that, the creator of the clones, named, “Gravelle” has Levi in custody on an isolated island. Emma needs to figure out why her powers came, how to deal with the anti-clone movement, and find a way to rescue her crush from the evil man, Gravelle.
I really didn’t enjoy reading the book. Most of the characters are underdeveloped such as the clones and the book mainly focuses on the relationship between Emma, Oliver, and Levi. It also introduces us to too many plot twists which the book barely explains at all. It felt like I was reading 4 different, short, barely detailed stories in one book. The ending was very bland and basic, very much like the movie “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”. The book in total was mediocre at best.
There aren’t many memorable things about this book. However, the only part barely memorable is the relationship between Emma, Oliver, and Levi. Reading about who Emma thinks is for her is sort of interesting.
