The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
Seventeen-year-old Jenna Fox has just awoken from a year-long coma—so she’s been told—and she is still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. But what happened before that? She’s been given home movies chronicling her entire life, which spark memories to surface. But are the memories really hers? And why won’t anyone in her family talk about the accident? Jenna is becoming more curious. But she is also afraid of what she might find out if she ever gets up the courage to ask her questions. What happened to Jenna Fox? And who is she really?

Now the latest deaths have her rattled. Becca can sense that an evil force is shadowing her too, waiting for just the right moment to strike. She feels like she's going crazy.

I finished reading The Adoration of Jenna Fox recently. It's been on my TBR for a while but I finally read it! :) I thought it was okay...well, the ending was quite a shocker for me.
ReplyDeleteThe book managed to pull me in in certain parts but overall, it's alright. I'd like to read your review of it! Here's the link to mine.
