What's it about? Eighteen-year-old protagonist, born in 2004, discovers that she is her mother's clone, and spends the rest of the book working through her resentment against her family and others.

Is 2022 really going to be like that? Not unless cloning technology had got a lot further in 2004 than we realised.

Is it any good? Moody young women are often quite a good read, and this isn't awful. ( )

This is definitely a book for thinkers. There is not much action, but a lot of interesting questions. It is about a 17 year-old girl who reflects back on her childhood and comes to realize that her mother is keeping a secret from her. After she finds out what the secret is, she has to cope with it. She goes out on her own to figure out what it really means: What it means to be human, and what makes individuals unique. ( )

Even skipping some of the longer body-image rants, I still feel I spent more time reading this book than it deserved. ( )
