Review: Replica

Replica by Lexi Revellian

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I've shelved this under sci-fi, but really, the sci-fi bit is all summed up in the premise: once it gets going this is a story about people. Or rather, it's a story about the same person under two very different sets of circumstances. It's hard to say much more without adding spoilers, but it was a quick read with a plot that raced along. It took me a little while to get used to the style: the "Beth Two" narrative is first person, but the storylines of "Beth One" and the other characters are described in third person. The plot setup isn't particularly plausible, but I found the characters' reactions generally believable and engaging. Overall was well written, fast-paced fun.
