Klara, a robot in a department store in a very vague futuristic world, is sold to Josie, a sick girl living with a strange mother. Klara is a sweet personality, and becomes obsessed with the idea that the sun can cure Josie, going to any length to prove her theory. This is a strange novel, in the vein of a Black Mirror episode.

The world building was so vague, and that really frustrated me. We're given hints about how it works in the future with these robots, and there's something about people being "Lifted?" but nothing is explored in depth, and we never really know if the story sees Klara as a living being or just a robot that doesn't matter.

I feel like after reading, this book had some sort of message it was trying to convey, and I have absolutely no idea what it is. I left feeling like the plot was an absolute farce, the ending was depressing as hell and I had very little feelings about any of the characters other than Klara, and even she annoyed me sometimes.
