5 ⭐️ Can love really last forever? 

Aiden & Rachel fell in love & are raising their daughter Chloe. But Rachel is a scientist who suddenly passes, & leaves Aiden & Chloe with her life’s work. A gift, a gift called iRachel. 

Heart wrenchingly beautiful. This is one of the most interesting books I have read that managed to explore grief in a realistic but creative & gripping way. I absolutely fell in love with the characters, especially iRachel. I really admired the fact that the artificial intelligence & robot premise wasn’t taken too far, but was used just enough as a tool to frame the story. 

The alternating point of views served the book well, & all the characters we’re so likable. I loved them all. The book did get slow at some points, but it was something I did not mind. The last 100 pages were definitely more action packed. 

The epilogue was realistic, sad & so beautiful. I loved this, so so much.
