Waiting on Wednesday: Replica
Waiting on Wednesday is a feature, hosted by Breaking the Spine, for bloggers to share upcoming releases they're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
Replica by Lauren Oliver
Expected Publication Date: October 4th, 2016
Goodreads | Preorder: Amazon - Barnes and Noble - The Book Depository
Gemma has been in and out of hospitals since she was born. 'A sickly child', her lonely life to date has revolved around her home, school and one best friend, Alice. But when she discovers her father's connection to the top secret Haven research facility, currently hitting the headlines and under siege by religious fanatics, Gemma decides to leave the sanctuary she's always known to find the institute and determine what is going on there and why her father's name seems inextricably linked to it.Amidst the frenzy outside the institute's walls, Lyra - or number 24 as she is known as at Haven - and a fellow experimental subject known only as 72, manage to escape. Encountering a world they never knew existed outside the walls of their secluded upbringing , they meet Gemma and, as they try to understand Haven's purpose together, they uncover some earth-shattering secrets that will change the lives of both girls forever...
Lauren Oliver's books are hit and miss for me, but the ones that I liked reading, I really liked reading. I loved Before I Fall and the first Delirium book, so I'm optimistic about Replica. I'm intrigued by the premise, so hopefully this one will be a hit for me.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Let me know!
