Adoration of Jenna Fox
WOW! This is such a wow book. It was compelling. It is my latest FAVORITE BOOK. The story itself is full of twists and turns, completely unpredictable. Futuristic with sci-fi overtones but so compelling. I know I've said that twice, but it is. Jenna has been in an accident and she wakes up, but she doesn't know who she is, where she is, and what really happened. She has been in a coma for 18 months......why is she in California instead of Boston? Where are her friends? It strangely seems that, in some ways, the possibility of such happening is ??? It's based on realistic science and haven't they cloned sheep? I can't say enough about it, but I don't want to give it away. A MUST READ!
