The Adoration of Jenna Fox, by Mary Pearson

The Adoration of Jenna Fox, by Mary Pearson
YA, 2008

Jenna wakes from a coma remembering nothing of her previous 17 years. Given home videos, and prompted by questions she has, bits of her memories start to come back to her. But why do her parent's look so worried all the time? And what really happened when she had the accident?
Raspberry: I don't want to say too much because not knowing makes this book all the better. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, the characters, and the ideas that made this book unique. There wasn't even a hint of anything cliche, and it was entirely engrossing. The ending will bug you - in a good way. Perfect for a book club, I'd recommend it for 14 and up. Noted there was some light swearing.
Graded an A-.

I loved it so much! It was just such a great book, and the ending was a tad irritating : )
