Summary
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.

Wonderful story with just the right amount of "love, loss and robots".

I really enjoyed this book. At it's core, I thought it did a good job of building up relationships between the characters; both family and romantic relationships. I cared for the characters. Then mix in the political aspect that intelligent robotic life will pose one day. The way society slowly evolved through the course of the book seemed like a very plausible scenario and one I enjoyed pondering about. For me, this really was an enjoyable listen. Compared to the last book I listened to, an Arthur C Clarke, I flew through this one getting through it in about 3 sittings.
