{Review} {Giveaway} Vitro @jkbibliophile @Razorbill

A death-defying tropical adventure delivers a frightening message about dabbling with creation from the talented author of Origin.

On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings—the Vitros—have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.

Sophie Crue is determined to get to Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. She enlists hunky charter pilot Jim Julien to take her there. But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux.

In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach

I am so sad to write this. I died to get a copy of this book. Even just an eARC and when it came in print I was again over joyed to read it.  Well I sped through Origin which was great. Then went on to Vitro and everything was WONDERFUL until you get to chapter 11.

Then things start falling apart. It all starts off in Two POVs which was great and even the addition of Lux was better.  But when you have Lux and Sophie being mistook for each other you are going to make me believe that a girl (Sophie) who just survived a crash, trekked through the jungle, and has been living in the real world for 17 years is going to pass for (Lux) a girl who has essentially been in a coma in a clean environment for the same duration and to top it all off has a chip in her head.

So you are going to tell me that in the moment of her waking up that the scientists are not going to be monitoring that chip and her vitals?  They they are so smart to create this tech but not smart enough to see that these two girls have been in two completely different situations.  That was a little to far fetched for my takes on this book.

Pic one is how I see Sophie still pretty but normal! Pic two is how I would see Lux clean like REALLY CLEAN!

So as I hope you understand where I'm coming from.  There is no way that within two chapters Sophie and Lux could go from two completely different worlds to going to one where they both look enough the same for these scientists to think they are each other!
