    I highly recommend this book, everyone! It's so good! Although it's a new book, the author's writing is fantastic. There's a little robot who's always there for the female lead and is very protective of her. It also includes introductions to cooking delicious food—who wouldn't want to turn their own farm produce into amazing meals?! [Admiring][Admiring]
