"This was such a great book the first one was really good I did pretty guess most of the plot twists. but man I did not expect that ending in this book I did not expect that plot twist the twists in the pretenders where good and I highly recommend this duology."

Sunflower

"Yes, it’s my favorite series rn. It has a love triangle between the girl mc and two guys (one being the original and the other the copy). It has lots of twist and turns, and the romance is only part of the plot. I would categorize it with the Hunger Games, Divergent, The Inheritance Games, books like that!"

"I want more please write another I need a finally grown up where are they now third book"

"I think the plot at the end was good and definitely unexpected but also I feel it did not live up to the first book. It was a wonderful book though"

Key Cole

"I had pretty high hopes for this book because I loved the first one, but it totally fell flat. Would not recommend."

Rhiannon Rabby

"I also love the first book in this anthology, but it was glitching and wouldn't let me like it. Anyways, the Similiars anthology is my favorite two part series literally ever and I would die just to experience it for the first time again!"
