Professional reviews
"When she wakes up from a yearlong coma, 17-year-old Jenna Fox can remember nothing and must reconstruct her life and sense of self from what others tell her. But are they to be trusted? The people who claim to be her parents . . . well, ARE they? And what is the meaning of the strange, contradictory memories Jenna keeps having? Narrator Jenna Lamia, who has a fresh, youthful-sounding voice, assumes the role of the confused teen. Lamia reads with a strong sense of believability, capturing the tone of a female adolescent with perfection. A compelling and often shocking story, which asks important philosophical questions, is realized with clarity and, most importantly, honesty. Also included is an interview with Pearson, who offers insights into the story. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine"
