Eve & Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate
Imagine you had a program which could create your dream's desire (in form of another human, not money, power, shoes etc.) - only on a screen. You could make him/her as you like, beautiful, ugly, tall, small, nice, touchy, intelligent - well, not so intelligent. Evening (Eve, or E.V.) Spencer has this chance (after she literally ran in a train) and she creates her perfect man with Project Adam. And then, suddenly, this perfect man stands before her and says "Hi".
The first half of this book is really good, very funny and easy to read. The second half on the other hand... I can understand what happened, sure, why E.V. makes her choices the way she does. The characters cease to make sense, especially her and her later boyfriend. It is something missing, like the authors deleted too many chapters and now it doesn't really make sense any more. It is sad, because this main idea is very good.
As for Eve's best friend, she's got something.
I like Eve's mother. She's cold as ice, but she knows what's right and wrong.
And this book shows you that you shouldn't mess with characters. It doesn't actually tell you, why, but it tells you it's a bad idea.
I give this book 2 stars, one for the ideas and half a star for content, the other half for style.
