Rachel and Aidan have been married for 18 years, are very much in love and have a 15 year old daughter Chloe. Life is busy - Rachel is a brilliant high-flying scientist while Aidan works for a recruitment consultancy. When Rachel dies suddenly, Aidan and Chloe are left devastated. But Rachel has a surprise for them - she and her colleague Luke at Telos Robotics has created a robot in the exact image of Rachel, with very sophisticated AI who has all Rachel's memories and has called it iRachel.
I loved this book - it is told from multiple viewpoints which I like. It is a story of life, death, grief and recovery. I don't want to give too much of the plot away by talking about it in detail here but it is a beautiful book which moved me to tears with it's depiction of grief. I enjoyed the technical descriptions of the AI technology - not too difficult to understand but not dumbed down either. Both heart-breaking and heart-warming, this is an unusual mix of science fiction and chick lit which I really enjoyed.
Thank you to Trapeze Books for my copy for the 12 Days of Christmas blog tour I am taking part in.
