Engrossing dystopian adventure-romance unfolding on a near-future Earth of all-too-realistic extremes of wealth and poverty. A girl whose intelligence, passion, and courage have been lying dormant under a spoiled existence finds the best parts of herself involuntarily awakened when she looks into the eyes of an experimental android. To others, he is an expensive plaything whose nobility and emotions are mere fabrications. But to her, he's a savior who can unlock her hidden potential, and whose love, and life, are in turn worth risking everything for.

Features an intricately developed environment the reader can easily lose oneself in, as well as equally masterful character development. Does an excellent job of immersing the reader in the experiences and emotions of the main character. One truly feels her yearnings for freedom and her pangs of desperation.
