Thank you to Angry Robot for sending me an advanced copy for review!
Lulabelle Rock isn’t just a person, she’s an industry. And she has thirteen copies of herself to prove it.
When copy thirteen wakes up in the world, she’s surprised to find that her purpose in this star-studded industry is to kill the other twelve copies. It’s supposed to be straightforward. It’s supposed to be easy. Thirteen is supposed to be a lucky number.
But nothing in the shiny world of Bubble City is ever quite what it’s supposed to be.
I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Comedic and sometimes incredibly sad Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock is a wonderful mixture of Black Mirror and Orphan Black. It explores the idea and beauty of individuality while still deeply appreciating the need for human connection.
Though I felt the last three chapters were a bit rushed and would have liked a little more to the ending, I love this story and will be thinking of it for a long time. Highly recommend.
