Summary from Goodreads:
Mila 2.0 is the first book in an electrifying sci-fi thriller series about a teenage girl who discovers that she is an experiment in artificial intelligence.
Mila was never meant to learn the truth about her identity. She was a girl living with her mother in a small Minnesota town. She was supposed to forget her past —that she was built in a secret computer science lab and programmed to do things real people would never do.
Now she has no choice but to run—from the dangerous operatives who want her terminated because she knows too much and from a mysterious group that wants to capture her alive and unlock her advanced technology. However, what Mila’s becoming is beyond anyone’s imagination, including her own, and it just might save her life.

Thoughts:
I was confused when this book is compared to The Bourne movies because the book is nothing at all like it. Aside from the fact that the main protagonist has super strength and skills when it comes to hand in hand combat, I find her to be super boring and bland.
And it took awhile for the action to pick up, because for the first thirteen chapters readers had to go through Mila's struggles to fit in among her mean high school friends who are only interested in her because she's the new girl out of town. It just so sad that once a cute new guy came in, her best friend immediately assumed that she's also out for the guy's attention. I mean seriously, I was rooting for Mila to kick this girl's ass but instead she's the one who got hurt when her 'friend' decided to joyride just to impress the new guy.
Things become very interesting. The real draw of the story is the action packed fight scenes. The lack of character development, awkward instant love and predictable secret organisation as the bad guy are the pitfalls of the book.
Verdict: 3 stars.
