I Was a Teenage Popsicle by Bev Katz Rosenbaum

() Adding to the usual teenage drama in this 16-year-old's life is the fact that she's actually twenty-six in the usual time-space continuum. She was held in vitrification (freezing-like chemical compound) for ten years of her life, and is now revived after the cure for her past deadly illness had been found. Only one other person, coincidentally a really cute guy from her old school, has also been revived. They're both still in their youthful bodies and mindsets. The girl's parents are still 'frozen', and she is sent to live with who used to be her 'younger' sister.
Along with adjusting to 'the future', there is a possibility that her parents may never be revived as a law suit is brought against the center where she was vitrified. Coincidentally, the girl comes up with a clever plan that creates more than enough revenue to support the center and help out her sister who squandered their parents' money. She also convinces the local congressman to vitrify his ill daughter - who is coincidentally her enemy at school. All this is done without making her 'being vitrified and revived' public knowledge.
This is a little too unrealistic for me. It's not the sci-fi part that bugs me, it's all the coincidences that occur. And the whole story makes it seem like the world is centered around just two cities in California. This is a cute, entertaining novel. But that's all it is, entertainment. Everything is happy-go-lucky and locally-centered.
I would prefer to spend my time on something that can broaden my perspective as well as give me an escape.
