In the seaside town of Nautilus, Minerva Gutiérrez absolutely hates her job at the local ice cream stand, where her sexist boss makes each day worse than the last. But she needs the money: kicked out of school and stranded by her mom's most recent hospitalization, she dreams of escaping her dead-end hometown. When an armed robbery at the ice cream stand stirs up rumors about money hidden on the property, Min teams up with her neighbor CeCe, also desperate for cash, to find it. The bonus? Getting revenge on her boss in the process.

Great book, would make a great movie
Revisado: 09-05-22
I loved this book even though I’m not a YA myself. It carefully balances the ways that life goes on after tragedy - the struggles continue and fantasies don’t become reality just because you’ve experienced loss, but also the little pleasures and joys that provide relief. The story would make a great movie due to the pacing as the characters discover new details of some of the mysteries in their lives. The characters all felt very real and honest as well. Definitely recommend it!

Sexual activity is central to our very existence; it shapes how we think, how we act and how we live. With advances in technology come machines that may one day think independently. What will happen to us when we form close relationships with these intelligent systems? Sex robots are here and here to stay, and more are coming. This audiobook explores how the emerging and future development of sexual companion robots might affect us and the society in which we live. It explores the social changes arising from emerging technologies and our relationships with the machines that may someday care for us and about us.

Nuanced, Smart, and Compassionate
Revisado: 01-20-19
Dr. Devlin is clearly an expert and has deeply explored the research and philosophy of sex with robots at our current point in history. This book is an uninhibited, nonjudgmental dive into the kind of relationships we have with companions, with lovers, and with technology. The author does not gloss over the disturbing doors that have been opened by creating sex objects and machines in human likenesses, but also does not go off into overly lurid speculation about the potential impacts of such devices. Furthermore, Dr. Devlin’s reading of the text was pleasant and added nuance to my understanding of her intent with the work and my enjoyment of her humor. I highly recommend this book!
