I finally got to read this book after a year of it sitting on my shelf. With rumors of Fox adapting it into a TV show, I was really exciting about Mila 2.0. Mila 2.0 reads like a TV show, mostly.

Mila and her mother who’ve been living in Minnesota for a month have to go on the run before that people who helped create Mila take her away.

Mila seems like you stereotypical teenage girl. Her emotions seem normal. She thinks she’s normal. Finding out she was not a real person really threw her off. She’s smart and tough and even has a big crush on a guy at school. How could she be an android? It was really interesting to think about. I reminded me of the show on Fox called Almost Human, with Dorian having a synthetic soul (Almost Human is the reason why Mila 2.0 was not picked up on Fox. Too similar). Also it was like the Bionic Woman show too. She has all the feeling a person has.

The book was cool and full of action. It was thrilling and had a lot of fight scenes. The only issues I had with this book is that it started off kind of slow. Once it got going it was non-stop action. Mila using her android abilities was really cool. She acted more like she was a cyborg rather that a completely mechanical android. There was also less romance than I hoped for. We really only see Hunter in the first part of the book. Mila meets a guy named Lucas in part 3 and she likes him, but there’s not really a romance between then. I’m sure in the second book there will be romantic developments.

I recommend this to fans of Almost Human, Bionic Woman, Terminator, False Memory by Dan Krokos, Unremembered by Jessica Brody, Maximum Ride, Altered by Jennifer Rush and any teen sci-fi. This book is not dystopian.

Cover Art Review: I love the cover. It’s metallic and the girl’s face it breaking apart, like pixels. Makes me think of Pixel Perfect (old Disney channel movie).

Review first appeared on my blog: Book Addict 24-7

I received a copy from the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

MILA 2.0 by Debra Driza is one heck of a cool ride. I first read the synopsis months before I received the ARC and the best choice I could have made was to not read the synopsis again before starting the book. My choice was perfect because Driza's surprisingly original storyline is much stronger when you're not anticipating anything.
