The characters offer positive, realistic LGBTQIA+ representation--especially nonbinary identities and characters still exploring their identities. Refreshingly, the characters also feel like generally-woke-but-still-imperfect humans. Wickedly funny and thrilling in turns; perfect for readers coming-of-age online. --Kirkus, starred review Kritzer's take on a benevolent AI is both whimsical and poignant. An entertaining, heart-filled exploration of today's online existence and privacy concerns. --Publishers Weekly, starred review Smart, sly, scary, and irrepressibly good fun, this novel has everything I've ever wanted from a story: it is a cerebral, funny, tender, big-idea delight. I can't wait for you to read it. --Kelly Barnhill, Newbery Award-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon An absolutely charming and incredibly gripping, superbly plotted YA thriller.--Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother Kritzer's flawless collection taps deep wells of emotion and wonder.... Her work is indisputably speculative, but it's a perfect entry point to the genre for readers who prefer fantastical and futuristic elements to stay more in the background, with human (and robotic) feelings always at the fore. This splendid treat is not to be missed. --Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Cat Pictures Please and Other Stories
