 I've seen one five star review for this. One. Even the people who rate every book five stars didn't rate this five stars. There's nothing particularly wrong with it...there just isn't anything really...stellar about it. It's actually a little worse than "meh." 
 Mila is an ordinary girl trying to fit in to her relatively new life in a new town while simultaneously dealing with her father's tragic death. After her "best" friend's motives to kill Mila fail (okay she wasn't trying to kill her, but it totally would have, what a psycho) Mila is left with a strange arm injury that leads to her questioning who, and what she is. Mix in a government agency, an agency that rivals the government agency, a really awkward love interest, and a heroine that is bland as the android she actually is, and stir thoroughly. The end result is Mila 2.0: a thriller that is less than thrilling. I was actually a little bored. 
 You know when authors create this whole back-story and talk about it a lot in the beginning then totally forget about it? Frustrating, right? This happens multiple times and leaves a few plot holes. Seriously, though-what happened to all those horses? 
 There is also a small, but infuriating issue that I hope was fixed in the final version that is published, and that is Mila's mom's hair. Yes, her hair. It has a nasty habit of changing colors throughout the story. A lot. This wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't mentioned every other chapter and we were forced to read how she dyed it in the first place. 
 I believe the main purpose of this novel was to focus on Mila's humanity. She's a robot with no real human parts, but she has true human emotions. I feel like this could have been better if it was written a bit differently. Mila got on my nerves when she would say things like "Oh, look tears-how am I crying if I'm not human," every other sentence. 
 Needless to say, I didn't care for Mila. I didn't connect with her at all. She was way too robotic (no pun intended) and I found myself losing interest in all of her endeavors. When she was in a life or death situation, I couldn't muster up enough emotion to really care about her being successful. 
 I will not be reading the sequel.
