I am not sure how I am feeling about this one. This book definitely makes you think! What makes someone human? What is abuse? What is being a good person? This book will make you think about the patriarchy, misogyny, control, freedom, the human condition, society, which is amazing. 

I overall thought it was a good, well-written book. But, I also see why people wouldn't like this book. 

This is a black mirror type of story. It is sci-fi but it is more about the character study, which makes it more literary fiction. If you like this I would recommend to give it a try. 

Both Doug (the owner) and Annie (the both) are complex and layered. I think both of their character development was written very well. 

The beginning of the book sketches the current situation and the relationship between Doug and Annie well. I could have done without the descriptions of the sex though. The first part is less interesting but necessary to introduce the second part of the book. This part is more interesting as Annie starts to evolve more, more interesting things will happen.
