Eve and Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate

Picture In the beginning, there was an apple—

And then there was a car crash, a horrible injury, and a hospital. But before Evening Spiker’s head clears a strange boy named Solo is rushing her to her mother’s research facility. There, under the best care available, Eve is left alone to heal.

Just when Eve thinks she will die—not from her injuries, but from boredom—her mother gives her a special project: Create the perfect boy.

Using an amazingly detailed simulation, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up. Eve is creating Adam. And he will be just perfect... won’t he?


​This was an okay thriller about a girl who gets run over and makes a miraculous recover in her psycho mother's creepy underground science research facility.

I could kind of see where the story was going from the beginning as there were a few heavy-handed pointers to the 'twist', but I still enjoyed it. It was fun and engaging enough and I liked the two MCs. 
One thing I wasn't a fan of, though, was the stupid names the MCs were given: Evening and Solo. Made me twitch my head around, like, 'What? What??' 

Evening's mum was stereotypical bad guy. She very nearly had a twirly villain moustache. I did like the way the storyline with her mum was tied up, though.

All in all this was okay. Not outstanding, but worth a look.
