This is honestly one of the funniest books I’ve ever read - I laughed so fucking hard so many times. Not only that but it was such a fun and interesting read. I loved all the characters and how they interacted with one another and despite being robot they were so human. I hadn’t read anything by T.J Klune before but I am so glad I did so thank you mom for randomly selecting this book. And I’m so ready to go pick up more by this author. I mean seriously this book was gorgeous it sweet and funny and of course I cried. Every interaction between Rambo and Nurse Ratched was hilarious.
And Victor and Hap were so cute together - I wish we had more time with these characters especially after they finally got together
and Gio was so sweet what a cute old man. Basically I love this book absolutely adored it!!
Also the juxtaposition of man and robot and how some robots act so human and Victor seems so robotic sometimes is wonderful. The contradiction of being a human and everything in this book is just good!
