I usually save 2-star ratings for books with problematic content, which wasn't this book at all. Honestly, this was just underwhelming and if I'm honest, boring. The premise for this sounded really interesting and I've been meaning to try Ishiguro's books for years and I really regret starting here. This felt like it had real potential to be a really in-depth look into illness, parenting, AI and environmental issues but everything about Klara fell short 😩
