4.0

This book is a genre-blend.
It tackles problems such as domestic and sexual abuse, power play in couples, interdependency, and toxicity in relationships through the POV of an essentially sex robot.  People fail to perceive Annie's humanity and the way that the abuse is subconsciously processed and changes her decision-making and priorities. Her owner, Doug, as you can imagine, has no self-restrictions around her because she's a robot, and you really get to see all sides of him—very much a reflection of relationships in the real world.
