I found myself absolutely hating their mother. This story made me more angry than happy throughout it's reading. Something perhaps even three people can't handle through combined efforts. Throughout the girls' desire to know the truth about their creation, their need to have their own lives, and their avoidance of attention from government officials, Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey have their hands full. You would think that this would be further evidence of their differences to their mother, but she still seems oblivious, as if wishing them to be the exact same to make her life easier. The choices are between David Chancellor, the popular, cocky, football playing student government officer, or Sean Kelly, the artsy, laid back heartthrob. Their differences become even more pronounced when they are permitted to date but only one guy. They live as one, but are, in fact, three very different people. It soon becomes evident that Ella is the preppy goodie-two-shoes, Betsey is the inquisitive detective, and Lizzie is the angsty rebel. They are clones and should be identical in personalities as well as appearance and DNA, correct? Not so much. The Originals is a story about three girls who live one life. How had I not read this yet? Must remedy this posthaste. I opened it up, read the inside cover, and gasped openly. Clones! Why is the first book that I have picked up that had such an original (fitting) idea? To be fair, I hadn't even read the synopsis before I was digging through my library books and selected this one on a whim.
