Lulabelle Rock is an icon. A legend. A model. 

She is gossiping with all the top socialites and partying in sky rise penthouses of Bubble City and parading designer wear down the streets of the fashion district.. all at the same time. 

Lulabelle Rock has 12 clones to do her bidding for her at the same time, each with a specific purpose. The main character is the 13th, and her purpose is to eliminate all the others. 

Woolf's book is a mind bending journey which is less heavy on the sci-fi, but more so literary in its terms of character exportation. 

We go through a cast of colourful characters, each representing a different aspect to life and the human psyche in a fresh and interesting ways. 

absolutely loved this take on cloning. The setting gave me very old Hollywood vibes, from Lulabelle herself to some of the people within the industry. 

However, the strongest point of this book was definitely the writing. Woolf has incredibly vivid prose, but a simplicity to it that also gives the main character tons of voice. This book was so easy to read, and I found myself highlighting so many things countlesss times. 

Even now, I want to re-read it to go over anything i may have missed but I guess I'll wait for the official release, when I can get my very own physical book. 

Thank you to Angry Robot for providing me with an e-arc copy in exchange for an honest review!
