The Originals by Cat Patrick || Release date: May 6th 2013.
The Originals is the story of the first human clones:
three identical sixteen-year-old girls who, because human cloning is illegal,
hide their existence by living as one person named Elizabeth Best. The way they
do that is to split their days in thirds, with one clone attending school in
the morning; the second handling classes in the afternoon; and the third being
in charge of afterschool commitments like their part time job, college course,
and cheerleading. The system works well until two of the
clones fall for two different boys, which is an issue if you’re supposed to be
just one person.
The
clones, Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey, have very different personalities and tastes.
Betsey is free spirited and laid back; Ella is an opinionated overachiever with
a big heart; and Lizzie is an emotional, creative type who may come off as a
middle child once in a while. Because they’re so unique, I thought it’d be fun
to post playlists that they might have on their iPods to give readers a feel
for the characters. Click the links to listen on Spotify.

Great post, Leanna! I love blog tours, and musical ones are even better - you can really see the individuality of each character through their playlist.
