I've had this book for quite some time but I always reread it when I get the chance. I remember after finishing the book for the first time, I was so sad and anxious because the book ended.. ): It's a great book and needs more love! I know I love it. (: I totally agree!

It was heartbreaking without the romance that most books include. The characters felt real and I was said when it ended... The book was great in the sense that it was not a total high school clique.

I loveloveloved it. However, it sorta reminded me of the plot of "What Happened to Lani Garver". The storylines are both very similar. This was a great book. I loveloveloved it.

I just loved Beatrice, she begins the book in August moving once again and her mother is upset about it and Bea doesn't know why, but when she doesn't get upset (like her mother) with the death of the neighbor's gerbil, her mother calls her "heartless" and a "robot" so begins the journey of Robot Girl. Each month is a new pink chapter, and Bea makes friends but is drawn to Ghost Boy, Jonah Tate, who looks like Casper, is an outcast and has a major chip on his shoulder. But Jonah and Bea forge a close friendship based on listening to the radio callers talking. But Jonah is tortured about the death of his twin brother and even though Bea will steadfastly help him in any way, Jonah uses their friendship and then pushes Bea away. Bea shed her Robot image as each page turned, her family changed, and Bea became a really sweet girl who will always hold a fond place in her heart for Jonah and she will move on to college. Who knows what Jonah will do?
