This was a very interesting, bittersweet and thought-provoking read. Viewing the world from the perspective of an artificial friend was really neat and the author did an excellent job putting us into her shoes. The way the world seems to be different from ours is slowly revealed as the book progresses but is left intentionally vague. This vagueness combined with the decisions being made by some characters and the way the ending plays out leaves a lot of room for discussion regarding ethics and the use of technology to artificially create and alter the human experience or aspects thereof.
