In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune

5.0

TJ Klune has done it again! I always read the synopses of his books and I’m like…is this something I’d even be interested in? And WITHOUT FAIL it is the most well-written, heartwarming story with exceptional characters that hits me right in the feels. This is my third TJ Klune book and my third five star rating. I don’t even know what his next book will be about, but I know I will read it and love it. 

This book (about a family of robots living in a dystopian near-future — aka NOT my go-to genre lol) hooked me from the very start. I fell deeply in love with the characters and I was so invested in the story that I listened to the 15 hour audiobook in just a few days. From the ACE representation to the compelling quest to the unexpected twists along the way…I loved it all. Five big stars for me and it will certainly be showing up in my top books of the year.
