Replica: The Plague Trilogy #3

by Marilyn Kaye

The gripping conclusion of a Replica miniseries!

Being perfect isn’t a big deal to Amy–until word gets out that she’s a clone. Now everyone shuns her, and she’s getting mad. She starts to believe that the organization has the right idea: The world would be a better place if only Project Crescent clones existed.

With a little help, Amy gets what she wishes for. She enters a world where everyone is just like her. But even perfection has its flaws. . . .

About the author

I was born in New Britain, Connecticut, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. I also spent a year (5th grade) in Montgomery, Alabama, and a year in Ann Arbor, Michigan(8th grade). As a child, I always wanted to be a writer, but I had lots of other ambitions too. I wanted to be a teacher, a librarian, a movie star, the president of the United States, and a ballerina.

I didn't achieve all my goals. I never became a movie star, the president of the U.S., or a ballerina. But I've been a teacher and a librarian and most of all, a writer. I've been writing for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always kept a diary. I wrote poems, stories, plays, songs and lots of letters. Writing wasn't easy for me, but it felt natural and right.

I've always read a lot, too. I was an English major at Emory University (I love Shakespeare), and I also received a master's degree in library science at Emory. I earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago, and I taught children's and teen literature at St. John's University in New York for over 20 years. Now, I'm a full-time writer, living in Paris, France - the most beautiful city in the world.

Tascha is a horrible friend. I don't know why Amy is still with her.

waste of ink this trilogy, i mean replica series has its weird as fuck moments but this trilogy honestly would have been better unwritten.

This is a reprise of the talent show one in messaging! I don't know why it was included in the plague trilogy though; it didn't really have anything to do with the plague.
