Story2.5 out of 5 stars 6
In near-future Japan, Susie Sakamoto is mourning the loss of her husband and son to a plane crash. Alone in her big modern house, which feels like more of a prison, Susie spends her days drinking heavily and taking her anger out at the only “sentient” thing left in her life: Sunny, the annoying home robot her husband designed. Susie despises Sunny, and sometimes even gets a sinking feeling that Sunny is out to hurt her.

Slow start and monotone voice actor.

Bought this book due to loving the series on Apple TV. Once I found out it was originally a book, I picked it up and really looked forward to reading it. As others have said, the book seems to meander all over the place and seemed to mainly stick to a narrative of Susie being self-deprecating and depressed. At first I understood this as she lost her son and husband in a plane crash but it just goes on and on and suddenly spins into a conspiracy and something larger than her family.
I didn't want to give up on it but I stopped reading 32% in. I might try again in the future, but as an avid reader with a queue of books to read, I moved on to more enlightening, entertaining or informative books.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
