After SEVERAL plot twists and what ultimately felt like a long but satisfying book, I'm finally finished!

RATING: 3.62 stars

Based off of what I knew about this book's plot, I knew that several things could have happened along the way which I may not have liked. Cloning research is a touchy subject, but since I had recently done a research paper about similar experiments, I figured I knew what I was getting into.

And yet, I still ended up surprised.

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of twists I did not see coming. Usually, I'm the kind of reader who figures out the plot twist way before it happens, so I am glad this book offered multiple twists which kept me guessing.

However, not all of these surprises were good. There were a few additions to the plot (which would be spoilers if I mentioned them now) that I didn't enjoy very much, mainly having to so with the clones. There were a few details about the main characters which seemed a bit off throughout the book, but once I got through half of it, most of these problematic details were solved.

That being said, there were also a few plot points which seemed to be a bit of a stretch, mainly having to do with the characters' actions.

I will also point out that the novel itself seemed to last a long time, despite being an average length book. I'm not sure if this was just my fault, but they probably fixed this issue for the official release.

Overall, I liked The Similars more than I expected! It wasn't mind-blowing or anything, but it was good. I will most likely be reading the next book when it hits shelves!

I recieved an eARC from Edelweiss+ in exchange for an honest review.
