How to Say Goodbye in Robot is one of the more unique young adult books I have read. The title and the cover suggest that it will be a different sort of read, so I was expecting it when I began. 
 As I was reading, I felt as though I was reading the script of an independent movie - something along the lines of Little Miss Sunshine. A quirky little thing. There is actually another movie it reminded me more of, but I can't think of the title or anything else besides the feeling it gave me, so I'm unable to share any concrete details about it :) This feeling allowed me to enjoy this book more than I would have otherwise. 
 The unique story of Beatrice and Jonah starts off normal enough, but soon the two become friends and this is where the quirk comes in - Jonah is a little different than the other high schoolers in his town, and has been called ghost boy for years. He introduces Beatrice to a night time radio show, where they tune in and listen to people from the area call in. There are actual scripts from the radio show in the book so that you can get into the radio mood while you're reading them (and imagine you're hearing all of the radio sounds in your head). 
 While I appreciated the unique story, overall it's not one of my favorite books. I didn't really connect with either of our main characters, and was only amused because of the movie angle I spoke about a minute ago. If you're into quirk and are looking for a very real book I would highly suggest How to Say Goodbye in Robot. It's on many people's "favorite books of all time" lists, and I can understand why - it just wasn't a great fit for me.
