Counterfeit Youth by Nabeh Avanessian starts off with a prologue that was quite fresh. It starts in 2035 when Jack is a teenager who is already wishing for "forever"! Then there was Nicole; someone I wanted to get to know. Why was she so calm and know-it-all?Special Agent Michael Turner was identified from a microchip one tenth of the size of a needle-head implanted in his left shoulder – That is neat! I really liked this character from the start. Michael Turner is reading Jack’s letter in a very special way. I really liked this part talking about fitness and foods and, I quote “I refuse to accept our so-called inevitable demise”In comes Arsen who is into paintings, digital mostly but, one oil painted one which was most striking. Now I am facing an enigma. Arsen has $100 bills, heavy machinery and was preparing an exhibit called, Buying Time.  At this point, Arsen and Jack Riley are both 33 years old. Sometimes, I just laughed feeling that Jack was a big baby or maybe hypochondriac.It was nice to read how Arsen, Jack and Nicole went through it all. Reading about Amanda Cunigham had also some elements of mystery. As I read through it; it may have not all been quite unique but Nabeh Avanessian has written it in a very interesting and fresh style.  I do recommend it.Adriana LG
