Description
Retta Heikkinen knows the unspoken rule of society:
love between androids and humans is forbidden. A simple enough edict until
Hemingway Koskinen spends an evening charming her with his intense gaze,
bewitching smile, and sparkling conversation that hints at so much more than
the usual obsessions of high school boys. Rules were meant to be cast aside,
especially when love beckons.
If only it were as simple as being in love.
Trouble is brewing, not just for Hemingway--for all androids. Secrets have been
kept, lies propagated, and Retta soon discovers that a frightening future
awaits thousands of androids if she doesn't do something to stop it. Worse yet,
she will lose the one love she's ever endangered herself for: Hemingway.
Advance Praise
"The ending of this book is exceptional. While it
was different from what I imagined, the way the author brought in a shocking
revelation was amazing. I probably reread the last chapter 3 times letting it
sink in and the meaning behind it. It was truly beautiful . . . I would love to
see more of Retta and Hemingway!" SMIBookClub blog
"Do I recommend this book? A resounding YES. For lovers of YA sci-fi, this
will satisfy your craving. For lovers of dystopia, this gives you human life on
another planet but without Earth being destroyed or war ridden. For lovers of
action, this gives you plenty to keep you on your toes. An all-around good read
that will have you thinking long after the last word is read." Word to
Dreams blog
"I am not sure if I can express how much I adored the main character,
Retta. She is outspoken, sarcastic at times, and the way she stood up for
others really endeared her to me. I love the way the book starts out. The
opening section really hooked me in and got me excited about the subject matter
of the book--androids." Book-Marks the Spot blog
"I was hooked on the social issues going on with android and human
population. I loved that this book brought a rather interesting question to the
forefront, 'What makes a human truly human?' Is it the sum of all of our parts
or is it something more? It's a very big question and its not one that comes
with an easy answer." In Libris Veritas blog
