First of all, thank you to Netgalley and Mariner Books for allowing me to read the audiobook ARC of Annie Bot. Annie Bot follows Annie who is a robot. She lives with her owner, Doug, and is wired to please him in every way possible. All of her emotions and actions are fine tuned to whether or not it will bring him pleasure. Annie is more advanced than other companion robots. She feels human emotions and starts to have thoughts of her own. She can rationalize and even starts to make her own decisions aside from what Doug wants. 

I unexpectedly loved this book! I know that probably sounds crazy, but I fully expected a fever dream-esque book and this was full of emotion and girl power. The ending was the best! I loved it so much! I was so happy that Annie made decisions for herself and parted ways with douchebag Doug. 

I think the only complaint I had about this book was that I wish we had seen more of her own decision making. It felt like a long build up to it and then we only got to see a small glimpse. I wish we had seen a little more. 

This book is a feminist sucker punch to the patriarchy and I can't recommend it more!
