Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff
5.0
FINALLY! A five star read!! These have been so few and far between to find this year. I knew I could count on my man, Kristiff, here. He is my favorite for a reason, folks. He has this incredible, yet infuriating way of shattering my soul and cracking me the hell up all within a couple pages. (Jay, please please PLEASE tell me the numbers in this title were put there on purpose and not by some remarkable coincidence, because D.A.M.N. my jaw dropped when i made that connection) Lifel1k3 takes place in a post-apocalyptic world of robots and awakening abilities and glass storms. Through the book we follow a teenage cyborg, her best friend who's named after laundry detergent, the short-tempered robot sidekick, and a dreamy, one-armed android boy. When our leading lady's ability awakening is broadcasted and a bunch of weirdos start calling her by the wrong name, shit hits the fan and all hell breaks loose.
So much happens in this book. Aside from all the exciting plot points, which I don't want to delve much into to remain as non-spoilery as possible, Jay Kristoff wrote this book with a healthy dose of wit and humor, enough heartbreak to put some hair on your chest, and such purposeful relationships between friends and family and lovers. Not to mention his characterizations, which are to DIE for. I aspire to be Jay Kristoff when I grow up. Read the book. Hell, read all of his books. You will thank me.
