Yet another beautifully illustrated and heart warming graphic novel from Wendy Xu. 

Clem, making the big move from earth to mars in this futuristic tech universe, is excited to work for her engineering idol. After meeting Kye, an AI created for the sole purpose of serving but with a glitch that reveals he's more sentient being than robot, Clem starts to question the role of autonomy in robotics and what makes one human. 

I was engaged with this story from the first page. Not only were the illustrations stunningly balanced between soft color and negative space, but the plot and pacing kept my interest and, of course, the romance was absolutely adorable and I couldn’t get enough. 
Filled with so much heart and introspection - the themes of autonomy and humanity in this graphic novel absolutely shined. 

Special thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
