The writing was mediocre. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters in a meaningful way. Hard to even put into words all the ways this book let me down.

One way I will mention though is when it was noted that the zeniths were coming to their apartment but then nothing ever came of that. Why was Doug and Annie's relationship so special? There were a few plot points that just appeared but were never resolved. Like others I felt this book wasn't really sci-fi, just because you have a robot doesn't make something science fiction. And it felt more romance genre adjacent
