I borrowed this book from my school library today. Probably writing about a Che clone's affecting me. Anyway, it's basically about this girl who's sent to live with her aunt who she's never met, and discovering that she looks eerily like her dead sister. And you can probably guess what happens next. It's really good. Anyone else read it? Double Identity

I have! ^^ Clone books interest me a lot. Have there been any stories to your knowledge where clones are treated as people and/or grow separate from the originals?

The Vorkosigan Saga, ...Or So I Heard. I actually think I'd like to try that myself, but it doesn't fit with my setting :(. What do you mean by "grow separately from the originals?" Most clones in books have different birth parents... except for ones where they are a clone of the parent's first child, like this one. What did you think of it?

I like the book ^^ The ending confused me a little at first so i had to reread it.

She plants a ginkgo tree in the backyard as her "birth tree." I found it kinda creepy that the mother mistook her for Elizabeth on the phone.
