She is not human. She is Annie, a Stella, her own star. No more and no less
Reading this book wasn't a pleasant experience by any means but I'm glad I've decided to finish it despite such heavy themes. I definitely expected more of a sci-fi story, instead got a heartbreaking tale about autonomy, abuse and control in very human relationships. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, a lot of anger and genuine sadness for Annie's situation but I found the ending almost cathartic and satisfying enough to make up for it.

It's clear to the reader that he is emotionally abusive but she's just a bot so nobody cares how she feels. They don't even really believe that she does feel.
Annie is the most advanced bot on the market and they want to replicate her. Annie feels empathy for the other versions of herself knowing they will never truly be free either. Another thing they don't believe she can do.
This was such an interesting look at the way people would treat a woman if they had no say in what happened. From continuously being the pleasure bot, to cleaning the house just the way he wants, and working out. She can also be adjusted to remove weight, have bigger boobs, etc. It's the way she's never really good enough even though he can make her do whatever he wants. She knows he's never happy and tries so hard to please him, but it's never enough.
