Creepy idea well-executed from a brainwashed perspective, very unsettling. Pacing was strange.

Spent the last quarter of the book waiting for something to happen, and was disappointed. Ending felt like we went in a circle instead of a new start. Questions unanswered.

There was a lot of abuse in this book and it was difficult to read some of it. I was really hoping for an ending that was more revengeful. What we got at the end felt rushed.

For anyone particularly tired of "Men Writing Women," Annie Bot is a unique and refreshingly solid take on the complicated relationships between romantic partners and with oneself. I feel like I learned about my own metacognition from this book, and given how painfully relatable the content was, I laude the author for keeping the story brief (<250 pages). It packs a punch, but every adult should read Annie Bot.

Moderate: Sexual violence, Slavery, Kidnapping, Medical trauma, and Stalking

Minor: Racism

Heavy coercive control. Predatory behaviour. Also, Annie is between 2-3 years old most of the novel despite the maturity of her body.
