Bob Palmer liked Tashya Paul's review of Cute: "A great story - highly readable - and also thought-provoking. Beautifully crafted characters, including Colin! I both wanted and didn't want a Colin of my own. Equal parts, amusing, scary and hopeful. Highly recommended read."

Bob Palmer liked Sue's review of Cute: "Loved this. This is, fortunately, a much more hopeful dystopia view of AI than others to emerge recently.
