Finn looks and acts human, though he has no desire to be. He was programmed to assist his owners, and performs his duties to perfection. A billion-dollar construct, his primary task now is to tutor Cat. As she grows into a beautiful young woman, Finn is her guardian, her constant companion… and more.

But when the government grants rights to the ever-increasing robot population, however, Finn struggles to find his place in the world.

Mixed feelings about this book. I really loved the storyline and most of the characters. Finn was a great character... He was definitely my favorite. Cat was a bit hit and miss for me. There were a few times that I wanted to smack her, but overall she was a good character. The storyline was a bit predictable, but I still really enjoyed. My issue with the book came with the choppy writing in the first part. I stopped multiple times because of the writing. By the second half, the writing improved dramatically. Overall a good book even with my minor issues.
