It is a touching story with a great plot that left me very emotional throughout until the end. To see and learn about the world via the eye of a very intelligent robot was funner than I thought. The only thing is that the world building is maybe a little limited, which made sense because we see the world through Klara and she could not learn eveything given her environment. But I am not convinced that the world would be so filled with lifted children given such a high health risk, and the mom’s decision to lift Josie … but given the world in the book, such decision may make more sense. But there are just so many metaphores and ways to interpret the story which probably will make it quite timeless, and interesting to read for sure
