EVE AND ADAM, by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate

The story: When Eve Spiker is nearly killed in a terrible accident, her mother lets the teen take her mind off the pain by using a custom computer program to build the perfect guy. Little does Eve realize it's not make-believe: her mother, a top-notch geneticist, has created a system that not only designs, but assembles, living beings from the genetic level up. When Eve meets Solo Plissken, she realizes there's a lot more to learn...and hate...about her mother. Can E.V. and Solo steal the information that exposes Spiker Pharmaceuticals and get it uploaded to YouTube before Spiker's thugs put a violent end to their plans?

June Cleaver's ratings: Language: PG-13; Nudity: PG; Sexual Content: PG; Violence: PG-13; Magic and the occult: G; GLBT content: G; adult themes: PG-13. Overall rating: PG-13.

Liz's comments: Put this one in the Thriller category--there's a ton going on all the way through, and yet Grant and Applegate manage to actually finish the story in one book and not cliff-hanger it into a trilogy (THANK you!).
