Eve and Adam - Katherine Applegate

An exceptional page-turner. Escapism doesn’t get more thrilling than this.

Love has never had much of a place in the life of 16-year-old Evening Spiker, but being the daughter of a billionaire genetic scientist has other perks. Like a private hospital where you can recover from near-fatal road accidents. And a hot surfer boy to push your wheelchair.

While Eve is healing, her mother sets her an unexpected challenge: to use a cutting-edge virtual reality system to design the perfect boy; everything from the colour of his eyes to the level of his IQ. It’s the chance of a lifetime. The chance to play God.

But what Eve doesn’t realise is that she isn’t just playing. Because her mother’s research is about more than just saving human lives . . .

It’s about creating them.
