The lives of David, wealthy and popular but still lonely, and Charlie, a soulful outsider, intersect when Rose, the female Companion bot David's parents buy to treat his dissociative disorder, forms a bond with Charlie. - Candlewick Pr
From a debut author! What happens when a robot designed to be a boyâs ideal "companion" develops a will of her own? A compulsively readable novel from a new talent. (Ages 14 and up)
David and Charlie are opposites. David has a million friends, online and off. Charlie is a soulful outsider, off the grid completely. But neither feels close to anybody. When Davidâs parents present him with a hot Companion bot designed to encourage healthy bonds and treat his "dissociative disorder," he canât get enough of luscious redheaded Rose --and he canât get it soon. Companions come with strict intimacy protocols, and whenever he tries anything, David gets an electric shock. Parted from the boy she was built to love, Rose turns to Charlie, who finds he can open up, knowing Rose isnât real. With Charlieâs help, the ideal "companion" is about to become her own best friend. In a stunning and hilarious debut, John Cusick takes rollicking aim at internet culture and our craving for meaningful connection in an uberconnected world. - Random House, Inc.
