RINGER Replica, Book 2. Version 1: Told in Alternating Chapters

The second book in the Replica series continues the intertwined stories of Gemma and Lyra. Narrators Sarah Drew and Erin Spencer alternate chapters, telling the story from the perspective of each girl. With the print book, readers can choose to read each story on its own, by alternating chapters, or to shift back and forth between the two stories, by reading the chapters consecutively. This version of the audiobook is read in alternating chapters, an approach that maintains the timeline but can make it difficult to follow the thread of the story (there is also an audio version available with back-to-back novellas). Drew and Spencer portray each of the girls in a slightly different tone. Lyra is sometimes naïve and is doing her best to be cautious and to fit into the human world. Drew portrays her with a slightly higher-pitched, uneven voice. Gemma, portrayed by Erin Spencer, is more direct and is presented in a straightforward tone.
