The Doppelgangers

review 1: A super quick read that I really enjoyed!Citrus was over an hour late to school. She somehow overslept even though she's never been late for anything. Worried about being late to her World History exam, she rode her bike the few miles to school and ran to the office to get a late pass, but the secretary seemed confused when checking the attendance sheet. In too much of a hurry to pay attention to anything but getting to her test, Citrus ignored the secretary's confusion and ran to class. But what she saw when she got there was nothing she was expecting. She was already in the classroom taking her test. How could she have been late to school...but also be taking a test at the same time? Confronted in the hallway by a boy she's had a crush on forever, Citrus realized that so... moremething strange is happening. Now she knows that she isn't the only one with a double somehow.Citrus must uncover the secrets behind the Doppelganger's taking over the school and try to save herself and her friends at the same time. This was book one and I really enjoyed it. I'm very excited to read the next one!
review 2: Doppelganger seemed like an intriguing and fun read, that ultimately fell short of expectations. This one is a hard one to review because honestly, there wasn’t much I liked.The main character, Citrus, was horribly annoying. I guess I could say that the voice of the novel was unique or interesting, but it wasn’t in a good way. Citrus is an airhead and a motormouth - everything she thinks could be condensed in about half time, ridding the novel of the unnecessary rambling and maybe making her connection to the other characters more memorable. It was easy to forget she cared about anybody but herself and Aedan with all the dribble in the way.All of the people in the novel felt two dimensional - they were nowhere near fleshed out enough, and came out bland and dry with no real flavor attached. I struggled through a lot of this book, there was just nowhere near enough of anything to keep me turning the pages.The above paired with the author’s writing ability, was a recipe for disaster. Too many adverbs, not enough detail, and words/actions that repeated over and over again. To top it off, the story ended without any real explanation, on a cliffhanger to boot - albeit a bad one, as I have no desire to read on to find out what happens.Overall, I’d give this story two stars as it was only just bearable. If you’re looking for a story about doppelgangers, there are much better ones out there so keep looking. less
