    I'd love to discuss this book with someone. I enjoyed it. With Annie telling the story it was easy to sympathize with her point of view but I still felt a little surprise at the ending.

    While Doug didn't seem like a great guy, it also seemed like things were better between them. Her leaving surprised me and I just kept thinking he's gonna go get her and change his mind, right? If for nothing else other than the 2 million dollars he'd be guaranteed continuing to own her! And I was surprised a felt bad for him…even now I can't quite articulate why. I mean he custom made a human sex doll and controlled everything about her, no necessarily qualities that evoke sympathy. But I do think her leaving would have blindsided him when he woke up. Do you think he deserves sympathy? Does he deserve the humiliation? He was "real" and she was mechanical.

    What did you think about the idea of a robot that can so closely mirror an actual human? Did she deserve human rights?

    All super interesting ideas that I'm still reflecting on it after completing the book. Would love to hear others' thoughts.
