The adoration of Jenna Fox, by Mary E. Pearson



Jenna wakes after a car accident has left her in a coma for a year to a world she barely understands. Gradually her memory returns, and gradually she learns the extent of her injuries. The body she is now in is not her own, and in fact very little of her brain is original. The issues of organ transplantation are explored well here, but I was reminded of Peter Dickinson's Eva, which I think does a better job with a similar premise.
