--How is one supposed to feel when her two rivals of similar age at an orphans' home are adopted along with her into a family? Cat, Josie Taylor, and Becka Morgan are getting used to their new lives and have settled into their school well. They've made friends, and only Cat really has a boyfriend, so she wants the others to get dates as well. However, this involves Becka being manipulated into helping a very cute guy in the grade cheat on his tests and Josie being forced into a romance with her friend and neighbour Red. Will romance tear the three sisters apart, and can they work out their different views on love properly? --This is a good book, but Marilyn Kaye really needs to get her grammar down correctly. She can't get "who" and "whom" worked out correctly - mistakes both ways were seen in this book and in others in the series. This is also the case in the difference between "like" and "as" though not as much. It would make it easier if either Ms. Kaye or the proofreader at HarperCollins could fix it up a bit. --Marisa

Pheobe is Alright I suppose
Pheobe is the serious one of the four sisters in Marilyn Kayes SISTERS series.Her latest cause is trying to stop a young-adult book series with sexual references from being banned.
A wonderful book
First-off, let me say that I was not expecting much from this book. Mostly, I just wanted to see Lyidia's lectures on current events since I'm into current events. But I really got into it. This book is about everything changing for Phoebe-her mom, her living room, and most of all, her friends. Everyone wants to grow up and stuff except for her. But the when someone wants to take some very popular books off the shelf, Phoebe takes a stand. In the end, she kind of makes up with her friends. I really liked this book. I was rooting for Phoebe (even though I knew it would make no difference!) and I really enjoyed this book. Maybe not quite everyone would enjoy reading this book, but I think many will.

Never really held my interest for long.
I expected this book to be a mystery/suspense/romance story all in one. In a way, I suppose it was, allthough there was very little suspense or mystery. Juliet, the main character, goes through extremely unrealistic character changes. The ending was a complete let down. The origins of "Luke" were never REALLY explained. Why was he brought back? How? And I was hoping for a happier ending as well. I like Marilyn's work on "Last on Earth" and "Replica," but I was really dissapointed by this one.
My Favorite Book
Dream Lover has been my all time favorite book. I read it for the first time 5 years ago when I was in middle school. I'm not a person who enjoys reading, but this book seemed to have kept my attension. The fact that Juliet is portrayed like any other young girl with a heartthrob. Most of the time you don't really know what your heartthrob is like, and she decided to find out when she had the chance. For Luke, he was the rebirth of a big rockstar. If I were in the same situation as Juliet, I know that I would have done the same thing. Leaving school and my longtime boyfriend for a guy I don't even know, but in my heart I do. I haven't read this book in four years because it was lost in a move, and for four years I have been going to many different books stores to find it. Now that I have, there is no dout in my mind that I will buy it. I believe that it is a must read book for the early teen.
Buy it now!
I loved this book.I finished it in one sitting. It has mystical implications beyond your average teen romance.I loved the reincarnation angle.

Terrible Ending to Okay Series
I started reading Replica in seventh grade, and I'm now a high school junior. For awhile I was reading the books because I genuinly enjoyed them, then I kept reading them because, even though I was outgrowing them, I wanted to finish what I started. As time went on, I became more and more dissapponted as Kaye pulled stranger and stranger plots out of the air that had no basis in actual science or even good science fiction. going into the past? chromosomes? the future? the plague trilogy I thought had to be the absolute worst of it, but unfortunatly I was wrong. When I read the last book, the first thing that struck me was the timing. Amy's supposed to be two years older, but she's only almost fourteen, and she got the powers when she turned twelve. She was also for some reason in ninth grade (but still in middle school?). From what I can recall, everyone in ninth grade when I was there was either fourteen or fifteen, and since Amy was about to enter tenth grade, she really should have been fifteen or sixteen. Would it really have been so outlandish for Marilyn Kaye to have her age properly, instead of continuing one of the most annoying tradition of young adult literature? I can still remember how insane I was driven by the fact that no matter how many Babysitter's Club books I read, they were always in eighth grade. Kaye was actually building to a good, genuine ending to the series, with Amy finally realizing that her abilities don't make her a freak or strange, they're just who she IS. Then Kaye has to completly and utterly derail what had up to this point been an overall good series. The ending was unrealistic and I still am very dissapointed that Marilyn could let down her long-time readers (like me) down like that, and I wish that she would recall this book, apologize, and sit down and actually write a good and proper and FITTING ending to a series that deserves much better.
What's your problem Marilyn Kaye?!??
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER read the 24th book!!
If I could have written this book, Amy would have married Eric or Andy, she wouldn't be able to FLY, and she would stay in contact with all the other clones who still have their powers. But, NO! Marilyn Kaye HAD TO end it horribly! WHY?
The whole series was terrific until this point.
A word of warning: DON'T READ THIS BOOK!
Thank-you. If you agree with me, tell me in an e-mail.

a star just because of the other books
i would have really given this book one star, but since i loved all the other books i gave it an extra. THIS IS THE WORST BOOK IN THE WHOLE SERIES!!! i mean, why would amy want to be the only clone left? it doesn't seem right. you need all the clones! and no guys she ends up with. the whole moving to malibu when nancy and dave got married was totally dumb. i was sad when they got together. and amy saving teh world? this isn't superman. i think if marilyn kaye made the right decision of making this the last book, because if all the future ones are like this...that would be very sad.
