Replica is a riveting two-for-one. Two complex heroines, two puzzling mysteries, two weaving adventures, all in one astounding novel.” - Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Queen Praise for REPLICA: “A searing pair of intertwined stories about the line between science and humanity, told with Oliver’s signature grace, uniqueness, and precision. It’s a new story every way you turn it - but always gorgeous, always haunting.” - Marie Lu, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Young Elites and Legend Praise for REPLICA: “A reading experience not to be missed―or forgotten.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for REPLICA: “The unique format [of Replica] will draw readers in, and strong writing will keep them hooked. Oliver’s dystopian Delirium trilogy achieved bestseller status, and she’s been gaining steam ever since. Teens will line up for this one.” - Booklist Praise for REPLICA: “With Oliver’s clever crafting, teens will be clamoring for the next book in the series.” - The Horn Book “The mirrored structure and flip book format work especially well here, as the two narratives connect but rely less on reimagining the same scenes, heightening the emotional resonance and providing double the suspense. This sequel is more exciting and a great deal steamier, with authentically bittersweet resolutions.” - Booklist “Like Replica, this entry is a flip book and can be read in either order or by alternating between Gemma’s and Lyra’s stories—yet the narratives are intertwined, making for an interesting reading experience for teens.... Bringing this duology to a close, this sequel will delight fans of the previous entry.” - School Library Journal “The third-person narration plunges along at a positively addicting pace. Speculative fiction at its core, Oliver’s novel is also a reflection on the nature of humanity as explored through the dualities of life/death, autonomy/ownership, truth/lies, and good/evil.” - Kirkus Reviews Two girls, two sides—the story continues. . . .
