Fun Fact #1: It took a while for me to find any science fiction qualities in this book, in fact, I was beginning to be convinced that this book didn't have anything to do with science at all.  Sometimes readers shy away from science fiction because they worry that it will be over their heads (I know I do!).  However, once these details appeared in Adoration I found that they were explained well and I wasn't discouraged by the "science" in the book.  Actually, it left me with a lot to think about!

Fun Fact #2: UPDATE!!!  I just heard that a sequel to this book is being released at the end of August.  It is going to be called The Fox Inheritance and supposedly takes place 260 years after the first one ended.  Hmmmm...sounds interesting.  Stay tuned!

Summary:  One day Jenna Fox wakes up from a year-long coma and remembers nothing about the life she lived before.  She accepts that, but there are some pieces to the puzzle that don't fit, like knowing strange historical facts or being able to recite long passages of literature.  Jenna begins to discover more and more things that don't add up and begins to worry that her family is keeping a big secret from her.
