Interpretation Concering Books How to Say Goodbye in Robot
From bestselling author Natalie Standiford, an amazing, touching story of two friends navigating the dark waters of their senior year.New to town, Beatrice is expecting her new best friend to be one of the girls she meets on the first day. But instead, the alphabet conspires to seat her next to Jonah, aka Ghost Boy, a quiet loner who hasn't made a new friend since third grade. Something about him, though, gets to Bea, and soon they form an unexpected friendship. It's not romance, exactly - but it's definitely love. Still, Bea can't quite dispel Jonah's gloom and doom - and as she finds out his family history, she understands why. Can Bea help Jonah? Or is he destined to vanish?

First read: sometime in 2014?Re-read: Dec. 2016Sweet, sad, wonderfully quirky, and delightfully original, Natalie Standifords beautifully honest book made me laugh in surprise, nod in understanding, and wish that I were part robot so that my heart would stop breaking. Libba Bray(this blurb pretty much sums up the book perfectly but Im going to ramble on a bit myself now because I can)First off, quirky. Yes. This book is so quirky. As I love quirky, its one of the things that drew me in in theFind all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/My library copy expires from my Kindle today so I figured I better barf up a review before I lost all of my notes and highlights and whatnot. Turns out I didnt add any . . . . This is a story about Beatrice, a high schooler who is new to town. While Mean Girls stories have become the norm, How To Say Goodbye In Robot was quite the opposite. Yes, there were mean girls (and boys) who had been calling fellow student Jonah Ghost Boy
Another great book given to me by my daughter. She's been picking my books for me this summer and, so far, she's 3 for 3.I really liked the quirky characters in this book and the night-time radio call in show that is an integral part of the story. The radio show was interesting because as a YA writer, all the advice for writing to teens is not to use any pop culture references or dated references. This book had older characters and older music, and my daughter read it twice and loved it. I
First off-to set people strait-this book is not about robots or anything sci-fi; its about love but not rmance because Bea and Jonah are good friends. (If you think Bea and Jonah shared a romantic relationship then youre probably like the rest of Canton High.) How to Say Goodbye in Robot is the bleak story of one unique friendship, a late night talk show, and too many goodbyes.Bea and Jonah are different. Bea is the stone child who is slightly depressed about her parents and is tired of
3.5 stars Beatrice and her family relocate to Baltimore just in time for her senior year in high school. She attends a small private school with only 40 seniors so everyone pretty much hangs out together by default. So even though the rest of the class has been together since kindergarten, there is none of that "you're an outsider" stuff here. There is one exception to this; Jonah, also known as Ghost Boy. He's been a loner since his mother and twin brother died in a car accident when he was
I finished reading the last page.Closed the book.Got mad & felt sad. Then got mad for feeling sad.Bea (Robot Girl) & Jonah (Ghost Boy) both were sweet, quirky (in a good way), innocent & naïve, being the way they were. Weaving stories, giving imaginary places names, meaningless things meaning, making the whole story cozy & colorful. Which is why I wanted to read it in the first place. The book even has a few colored pages (black, pink, blue), which makes it stand out even more
