Typical Heinlein. Interesting characters, little plot riddles (that make sense and do get solved), another unusual take on love, and lavish, yet believable, use of sci-fi elements. Highly recommended.
PS there are robots, you will love it

This is one of my favorite little books. It is quite a bit dated having been written in the 50s, but is this authors idea of what the future might be like. It involves time travel and romance. A really enjoyable read.

This is one of Heinlein's best, even without spaceships, monsters or interplanetary intrigue. And although written in his "free sex" period, it is still one that you can recommend to youngsters. There is no sex or murders, just a lot of mystery, double-dealing in business, robots, time travel, a young girl the hero does his best to protect, and his cat.
It all works out in the end, even for the cat. In fact, the cat is such an essential part of the story that my dog commented favorably on the cat's participation to make everything come out right.
It has everything needed to make an entertaining movie. Why Hollywood hasn't done so, and still continues with its mindless repetition of the same old scripts puzzles me.
