Synopsis

What happens when a robot designed to be a boy's ideal companion develops a will of her own? A compulsively readable novel from a hot new talent in YA. Hello, David. My name is Rose. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are now entering minute two of our friendship. According to my Intimacy Clock, a handshake is now appropriate. DAVID is a rich kid, with a million friends, online and off. CHARLIE is a loner, disconnected from the high school world around him. Neither of them feels close to anybody. Until they meet... ROSE: part girl, part robot, and ALL a boy could want. But can a robotic girl really change the lives of two teenage boys? Before they know it, Rose is teaching David and Charlie how to feel human again.

Media Reviews
It may be hard for readers to get this book out of their system [...] charming and witty, peppered with satirical jabs at the irony of being lonely in an increasingly connected world. (The Horn Book) [A] bittersweet and prescient novel [...] which makes the teenager-as-robot metaphor work so well. (Publishers Weekly) [An] I, Robot-meets-Pinocchio cautionary tale. (Kirkus Reviews)
