Beautiful writing, but it didn’t feel thought through or complete. There were areas the author went that I thought could have been explored more. As is, it may have been better as a short story, but was dragged out to novel length.

I never saw myself falling in love with a robot but Klara won me over. Despite some awkward passages Ishiguro has written an engaging story of an artificial friend. Clara is a robot designed to be the friend of a young child. She is chosen by Rosie and the two form a real bond.
Klara sees Rosie through times of illness, of budding romance, and of the move to adulthood. Through it all Klara's innocence and insight make a beguiling coupling as her inner AI grows and develops. Ishiguro turns the "AI will destroy humanity" them on its head as Klara become the pivot point for Rosie and her family.
The ending of the story is something that we never see coming and it left me with a sense of pain and grief, but Klara remains as she always was, hopeful and satisfied that she was the best friend to Rosie that she could be.
