Book: Duplikate by Cherry Cheva
Rating: 5 Stars
Release date: September 29, 2009 from HarperTeen
Summary: Getting into Yale has been Kate Larson’s dream for years—and being overworked and under-rested is the price of admission. But when she opens her eyes after falling asleep on her keyboard one night, she comes face-to-face with, well, herself.
Meet Kate’s computer-generated twin. Kate doesn’t know why she’s here or how to put her back where she belongs, but she’s real. And she’s the last thing Kate has time to deal with right now. Unless. . .could having a double be the answer to Kate’s prayers?
In this hilarious second novel, Cherry Cheva introduces a character who has been granted the wish of every overscheduled teen everywhere—for there to be two of her. But as everyone knows, you should be careful what you wish for…it just might come true and wear all your clothes and steal your boyfriend.
*****
Well what can I say about Duplikate? It’s hard to find words to describe such a great book. It was so funny but more than that, it was real. Having just recently graduated from high school I could really picture everything Kate was going through and totally relate to it.
Kate’s social life is pretty much nonexistent with applications and extracurricular activities. She almost never gets to see her boyfriend or her friend. Add to that a huge science project for her final with a slacker for a partner and things become too much to handle. Then Rina shows up.
I guess one of the things I liked so much about Duplikate was that it wasn’t very predictable. I hate books where you know exactly what is going to happen as soon as you open the book. It takes all the fun out of reading a book.
Overall, I really liked Duplikate and it’s a good book for people of any age group. If you have graduated from high school of are in high school you will really know what Kate has to go through and realize that you are not alone. =]
5 Stars?! Sounds like a very fun read, and surprises are always a plus. awesome review 🙂
I just got this in the mail, and I was excited to read it before, but now I’m super-excited! 5 stars–can’t wait!
I really liked She’s So Money, so I’m excited to read Duplikate.
