The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

Who is Jenna Fox?

Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a year-long coma, and she’s still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. Her parents show her home movies of her life, her memories, but she has no recollection. Is she really the same girl she sees on the screen?

Little by little, Jenna begins to remember. Along with the memories come questions—questions no one wants to answer for her. What really happened after the accident?

In this fascinating novel, acclaimed author Mary E. Pearson presents an unforgettable look at one human life and a glimpse into a possible future that may be closer than we think.

I guess I have to admit that I added this book to my wish list originally because the name Jenna was in the title.  Yep, I’m a dork and I occasionally judge books by their covers and titles. :)  Hm, what to say about the book itself?  I don’t want to be spoilery at all because I think one of the things that makes this book interesting is that you start out as confused as Jenna is as she comes out of her coma.  You learn who she is and was as she does.  The world she lives in is very interesting and thought provoking.  I can’t say I loved the book, but it was really interesting and I recommend it.

After sleeping on it, I thought of something else – either I missed it, or it was never explained what was up with [one of the kids Jenna meets - I don't want to spoil!].  That’s kind of bugging me now!
