I am speechless after finishing Annie Bot. This is my first 5 star read of the year and WOW I know I made the right choice waiting to give out this rating because this blew the other books I’ve read out of the park. At first this is West World meets Barbie but it goes so much deeper. It ends as a beautiful but devastatingly honest portrait of womanhood and the shackles of the patriarchy. Be sure to check trigger warnings but otherwise this is a must read.

The premise had me interested, but it didn’t really go anywhere. Most of the book was unbearable interactions with a misogynistic man, and a robot-woman who doesn’t have any other choice but to talk and do much more with him. I was hoping for a twisted (maybe vengeful) ending, especially since the rest of the story is already pretty dark.
