2011 book 155

Mary Pearson's The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Yet another book about a girl with memory problems! (Though this one came out in 2009.) Anyway, teenager Jenna Fox awakens after an accident with all sorts of memory and motor problems, but while we wait for her past to be revealed, we realize we're in some sort of near future and then things take a turn for the more interesting. I wasn't invested in the romantic subplot (the character of her love interest wasn't well-developed) and had some minor issues with the ending, but Jenna herself is a fascinating character. Apparently a sequel is coming out in August and it looks even crazier than this one. B/B+.
