The setting is California in the not-too-far future. So begins The Adoration of Jenna Fox, an eerie, unsettling novel told from the viewpoint of a seventeen year old girl who has just awakened from a year and a half long coma. She can call me Lily,' she says and sits down on the other side of Mother. They exchange an expression I try to understand. She comes and stands in the arched doorway.

I'll watch from the monitor in here,' she calls back. Her face is as plain and expressionless to me as everyone else's. 'Mom, come sit with us,' she calls out toward the kitchen. I don't know how to match her other expressions. 'We never had a woman president of Nigerian descent before.' You don't want to miss this.' The woman I am supposed to call Mother pats the cushion next to her. More than the video clips they make me watch. More than the facts and statistics they fill me with. Her description of the book was brief but, combined with the hardcover's eyecatching cover and with the fact that I've enjoyed several Singh books, it intrigued me enough to look up your novel, and after reading a longer description, I purchased the ebook. Author Nalini Singh did a guest post recapping her favorite books read in 2009. I first heard about your YA novel, The Adoration of Jenna Fox, last December during the Smugglivus event on The Book Smugglers blog.
