What happens when a robot designed to be a boy's ideal "companion" develops a will of her own?

A compulsively readable novel from a hot new talent in YA. "Hello, David. My name is Rose. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are now entering minute two of our friendship. According to my Intimacy Clock, a handshake is now appropriate." DAVID is a rich kid, with a million friends, online and off.

CHARLIE is a loner, disconnected from the high school world around him.

Neither of them feels close to anybody. Until they meet... ROSE: part girl, part robot, and ALL a boy could want.

But can a robotic girl really change the lives of two teenage boys?

Before they know it, Rose is teaching David and Charlie how to feel human again.
