Brave New Girl by Rachel Vincent

4.0

I really enjoyed this. I love dystopian fiction and clones are such an interesting element. Dahlia 16 is one of 5000 clones who look exactly alike and are trained in different areas (gardening, culinary, soldiers, etc.). After getting stuck in an elevator with Trigger 17 and having a brief chat with him, she quickly realizes something is off and is fearful of being recalled and therefor her entire genome getting recalled as well.

There isn't a lot of depth into why Dahlia needs to be recalled, essentially she has feelings. Dahlia and Trigger cling together very quickly so if you're turned off by "instalove" you might be deterred by their relationship. I enjoyed the sneaking around and seeing some behind the scenes of the Administrator, the only identical person in Lakeview. I thought the ending was great and a perfect twist that I did not expect.
