# The Similars - Hardcover

by **Rebecca Hanover** (Author)

**A _New York Times_ Bestseller!**

**Don't miss the series debut that readers are calling _Gossip Girl_ meets _The Umbrella Academy_ and one of the best boarding school books. At Darkwood Academy, secret societies rule and nothing is as it seems...**

This fall, six new students are joining the junior class at the elite Darkwood Academy. But they aren't your regular over-achieving teens. They're DNA duplicates, and these "similars" are joining the class alongside their originals.

The Similars are all anyone can talk about. Who are they? What are the odds that all of them would be Darkwood students? And who is the madman who broke the law to create them? Emmaline Chance could care less. Her best friend, Oliver, died over the summer and it's all she can do to get through each day without him. Then she comes face-to-heartbreaking-face with Levi, Oliver's exact DNA copy and one of the Similars.

Emma wants nothing to do with the Similars, but she keeps getting pulled deeper into their world. She can't escape the dark truths about them or her prestigious school. No one can be trusted, not even the boy she is falling for with Oliver's face.

This exhilarating and riveting debut by Rebecca Hanover is the next obsession for readers who devoured _One of Us Is Lying_, _Tell Me Three Things_, _Scythe_, and _Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful_.
