10 Second Review
A local teen commits suicide and broadcast the act live on the web.
A young boy witnesses the event and does nothing so he is diagnosed as 'dissociative'.
The doctor's prescription? A robot girlfriend!
The robo-girl is designed to train the boy to interact more with real people.
Things go awry when the boy finds out robo-girl is not 'fully functional'.
A fairly straightforward story that veers dangerously close to cliché but manages to be fun and engaging.
Odd and creative, this book may have wide appeal but real girls are fairly scarce in this story.
Notes
A robot girlfriend!
Learning Curve
Low: Should be good for new readers.
