In Mila 2.0, did you enjoy ...

... unraveling a manufactured identity after a life‑threatening accident and questioning what makes you human?

The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

If what hooked you in Mila 2.0 was Mila learning after the accident that she’s an engineered girl raised by the scientist who posed as her mother—and the way that revelation cracks open questions of memory, self, and soul—then you’ll be riveted by Jenna waking up with gaps in her past and discovering the unsettling truth about how she survived. Like Mila’s struggle to reconcile programmed capabilities with real emotions, Jenna’s search asks where the line is between person and product, and whether love and choice can cross it.

... a breakneck escape from a secret government lab and the relentless chase that follows?

Altered by Jennifer Rush

If you tore through the sequences in Mila 2.0 where Mila bolts from the shadowy program that built her—ducking agents, switching safe houses, and fighting with abilities she barely understands—Altered delivers that same pedal‑to‑the‑floor momentum. Anna frees four engineered boys from the underground lab in her dad’s basement, kicking off nonstop pursuits, ambushes, and close‑quarters fights that echo Mila’s facility breakout and on‑the‑run survival, with secrets about who they are dropping at full speed.

... the unsettling moral fallout of creating engineered girls and treating them as property?

Beta by Rachel Cohn

If the parts of Mila 2.0 that stuck with you were the tests, controls, and orders from the military project that built Mila—and the way her creators insisted she was an asset, not a person—then Beta pushes that ethical tension even further. As Elysia, a clone made to replace a living girl, learns to resist the rules that say she can’t feel or choose, you’ll recognize the same fight Mila wages when she refuses to be just hardware following commands.

... a close, character‑driven look at an engineered girl hiding in plain sight and clinging to fragile bonds?

The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna

If you liked how Mila 2.0 keeps the focus tight—Mila and the woman who raised her laying low, new friendships (like with Hunter) complicating the lie, and every choice threatening to expose her—The Lost Girl offers that same intimate intensity. Eva is a crafted replacement living under strict rules; as she builds a life that feels real, the quiet moments of connection and the constant risk of discovery mirror Mila’s small‑circle, high‑stakes struggle to belong.

... a mission‑driven hunt for the truth behind a teen weapon’s origins amid a dangerous conspiracy?

False Memory by Dan Krokos

If you were pulled in by Mila’s clear objective—stay alive, protect the only mom she’s known, and uncover the truth about the project that made her—then Miranda’s drive in False Memory hits the same nerve. Waking up with combat reflexes and lethal tech built into her, she peels back layers of a black‑ops program, much like Mila digging into the handlers who want her back, with each step turning into a targeted run‑and‑recover mission toward who she really is.
