Status Updates From Boy Robot

i am finding that i am enjoying the mini chapters about side characters much more compelling than the actual plot itself...

I went from being lowkey disgusted I was reading about a girl being jealous over another girl being raped (tho I do understand WHY and WHERE she is coming from, b/c she's a robot) to laughing my ass off at her accidentally frying the guy who did have sex with her. God. what the fuck is this book 😭

Compelling, interesting, jumpy. So many points of view. Feels like I'm watching a series of intro episodes to a show, each one about a different character, that will eventually wrap into one cohesive group.

interesting; rough start. prose is lovely, speech sounds a bit unnatural. a bit heavy handed with the establishing of character personalities.
why does he default to calling her mom if he never felt wanted and she doesn't like it? why is he unwanted if his mother thinks he was an answer to her prayer for a child?
