About this audiobook
Nominated for the Phillip K. Dick Award, a science fiction fairy tale set in a collapsing future America about a girl and the android she falls in love with.
When Cat Novak was a young girl, her father brought Finn, an experimental android, to their isolated home. A billion-dollar construct, Finn looks and acts human, but he has no desire to be one. He was programmed to assist his owners, and performs his duties to perfection.
His primary task now is to tutor Cat. Finn stays with her, becoming her constant companion and friend as she grows into adulthood. But when the government grants rights to the ever-increasing robot population, Finn struggles to find his place in the world. As their relationship goes further than anyone intended, they have to face the threat of being separated forever.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As someone who isn’t a sci-fi fan at all, this book was rather good even if it made me uncomfortable at times. I’m pretty sure the discomfort was what was intended though. I might end up buying it for my at-home library & to give it a physical read through.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just really enjoyable. As an older male sci-fi reader it was a refreshing feminine view in the android genre.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely beautiful novel. The narrator did a great job with her voices and her tone matched the story perfectly. The love story in this was magnificent and heart breaking and perfect. I was dreading the end of this book, because I feel like it’s going to be hard to find another book that hits the spot like this one.
