Book description
Tired of AI that remembers your coffee order but not your own birthday? Meet Jenna Fox, who wakes up after a year-long coma with a memory gap wider than a black hole-and her voice cracks like a faulty hologram when she asks, "Who am I?" Mary E. Pearson's The Adoration of Jenna Fox isn't just a book; it's the audiobook you'll play on repeat while frantically Googling "bioethics" at 2 a.m. (You're welcome.)
Forget everything you think you know about teen angst. Jenna's not just recovering from a car crash-she's recovering from herself. Her parents, doctors, and a suspiciously chipper nurse all whisper, "You're safe now," while her own mind screams, "Wait, why does my hand feel like it's made of plastic?" Pearson masterfully turns near-future bioethics into a thriller you'll binge like Black Mirror on espresso. The audiobook? Pure genius. You'll hear every shaky breath as Jenna pieces together fragments of a life she might not have lived-and wonder if you'd want to remember if your brain was 80% synthetic.
Pearson's prose here? She's not just writing; she's sneaking philosophy into your ear canal with a wink. "What is magic, but what we don't yet understand?" Her characters don't just have secrets-they are secrets, and the narrator's voice (seriously, whoever did Jenna's voice-chef's kiss) makes you lean in like you're hearing a confession at a haunted sleepover. You'll gasp when Jenna realizes her "accident" might've been a choice. And yes, the Andre Norton Award nod isn't random-this is sci-fi that hurts and heals in equal measure.
Let's be real: most YA novels make you sigh about first kisses. This one makes you panic-check your own reflection in the mirror. Is your body really yours? (Spoiler: The audiobook's answer is a slow, chilling whisper.) Pearson's gift? She takes a "what if?" and makes it feel like it's happening to you-while you're driving to work, or folding laundry, or just trying not to cry into your cereal. It's not just a story; it's the kind of book that makes you pause mid-sentence to ask, "Wait, am I Jenna?" (Don't worry, you're not. Probably.)
So grab the audiobook. Let Jenna's confusion become your own. And when you hit the final twist? You'll be whispering back: "Nope. Not the ending I expected." But honestly? It's the only ending that makes sense. Perfect for when you want your brain to actually hurt-but in the best way. (Also, bonus: it's way more fun than watching your phone battery die.)
