Set My Heart to Five by Simon Stephenson
3.0

I really really wanted to love this book. I was hooked by the premise and thought “this one sounds like it’s for me!” The story revolves around a dentist bot named Jared who begins to malfunction and gets *gasp*feelings! Jared lives in a world in which bots can’t feel like humans do, they’re programmed and yet they have human dna and appear to be human. The plot is about Jared figuring out human emotions and write a screenplay. I thought it was fun reading about Jared trying to understand human behavior and the illogical aspects of certain things. But it tended to drag on and the quirky writhing style slowly began to get me. The story seemed to drag on a bit and I just really wanted it to end. There were fun pop culture references and the romantic plot between Jared and Amber was sweet. Overall this book just didn’t work out for me but it might work out for you! Go check it out!
