How to Say Goodbye in Robot
How to Say Goodbye in Robot
Natalie Standiford
Bea's family has moved again, and while she is nowhere near excited about it, it is ok. A popular girl at her new school is trying to take her under her wing, but as much as she tries to get excited about senior year, Bea is just not feeling it. Her father is distant and working all the time, and her mother has become increasingly emotional and weird. Compared to them, Bea feels like a cold unfeeling robot. So when she meets pale skinny Jonah, who everyone at school calls Ghost Boy she feels drawn to the isolation and alienation she feels they share. Soon something grows between them, stronger than friendship, but somehow undefinable. Can Bea make the connection with Jonah she yearns for, or are they destined for other things?
Extremely sweet and heartfelt, and quirky in the very best possible not irritating way, How to Say Goodbye in Robot is like a more tender and innocent Perks of Being a Wallflower for teens who know that life is full of pain, but still want embrace their ability to daydream.
