Duplikate

Duplikate started off strong and stayed that way till the end. Kate and Rina, Kate's Simulife computer generated twin, comes to life, litterally. It was definitely a concept I hadn't read about before, which made me really love it. Kate is swamped with work, since she is trying to get into Yale to be with her boyfriend of three years. At first she just has Rina sit in the house, and BLOWS UP when she finds that she has gone out, to the MALL, and has been spotted!! So Kate lets Rina roam around the house as she pleases, as long as she keeps the curtains closed that is, after ANOTHER close call with a neighbor spotting her!! Eventually, Kate is just too tired. Rina starts making flash cards for her, highlighting things, she even writes an AMAZING paper for her, though Kate doesn't turn it in and does her own. Then, Kate even lets Rina go to school for her for a day, though this is after she lets her go off with her boyfriend while she studies, and her friends too!! Kate is desperate to get into Yale, but what will it cost her if Rina starts deciding that SHE'S the one who shoud really be going?? Rina starts getting mad, and even, with Kate for locking her up. This book takes a quick turn to becoming a bit suspenseful to see what will happen between Kate and Rina, and more importantly, between Rina and Kate's boyfriend, and Kate and her ex-best friend Jake. Things heat up quickly, but how will it all end?? Overall grade...B.
