A review by wickedlovely
The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

4.0

There are not enough words to describe how much I loved this novel. When I read the synopsis, I thought it would be like [b:Skinned|2791536|Skinned (Skinned, #1)|Robin Wasserman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255601050s/2791536.jpg|2817307]. They're both about teenage girls living in a Dystopian world who had "accidents". But this was so much more. Maybe it's because this book isn't part of a trilogy & I know that every word thats written will be the last. I won't hear more about the characters when I close this book. It will be done. Finished. I felt so much empathy for Jenna, stuck in a body she didn't know how to use. There's been alot of emphasis on other peoples emotions in this novel & Jenna almost always felt like an outcast. Of course she did. She had to learn how to live again, how to even feel emotions & what those emotions meant. And what's so wonderful is that she became more. She became a Jenna Fox that Jenna Fox would never have even dreamed of being before the accident. She became a better Jenna Fox. She lost so much but gained herself in the bargain. Overall, this is a novel about what a parent will do to save their child & the repercussions of that action. I was very sad to see this story end. But as Jenna said, Everyone has to die eventually.
