Eve & Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate

Evening Spiker is the 17 year old daughter of a billionaire genetic scientist with the access to private hospitals, hot young workers, and the latest in genetic developments; including the new virtual reality system that can be used to design any human you want. What Evening doesn't realise is that his isn't about improving lives any more, but about creating them. Well, this book had an interesting concept - take a billionaire's daughter with mummy issues who is also genetically modified to heal fast, and give her some quite dodgy, but exciting technology to play around with after almost dying - its sounds like a great idea; but they didn't pull it off. Which was disappointing because Michael Grant is one of my favourite author's of all time, and I had never read any work from his wife: Katherine Applegate before, and the plot had so much potential. The main protagonist in the book has me a bit confused - I'm completely on the fence with her. She fixates too...
