Mila 2.0 / Debra Driza / 470 pages / Apri Challenge Rain

Mia Lana Daily (Mila) is "one slightly rebellious, hugely heart-broken" sixteen year old.  Her past memories are sketchy.  Her veterinarian mother has told her the traumatic fire that killed her father and destroyed their Philly home is responsible.  The two relocate to a horse ranch in Clearwater, Minnesota.  She is immediately befriended by Kaylee, but when the new boy, Hunter, transfers into their high school, jealousy, peer pressure, and snarkiness enter the picture.  When Mila is thrown from Kaylee's truck her unusual injuries compel her mother to tell the truth.  Mila is a top secret lab-created android - version 2.0.  Her mother stole her in a desperate attempt to save her life.  Her co-creator wants to destroy her as he views her as too human.  Will he succeed?  This awesome sci-fi is a compelling thriller, difficult to put down and almost impossible to forget.  First in a trilogy.
