In this book, Lizzie has two clone sisters that share her life. They live as one girl, splitting each day in to three parts that they take shifts living.

Whenever I pitch a Cat Patrick book, I can never do her justice in trying to explain her unique contemporary/magical-realism-esque plots that make her a sort of Isabel Allende or Alice Hoffman for the younger set.
