Klara and the Sun

I was under the impression that this was going to be an easy read, but to my surprise, I was so wrong. The first few chapters lay out the plot pretty well, and though I enjoyed it conceptually, and I had a nice vivid image of what was going on, the true selling point for me is the concept of Klara, the protagonist, having her memories all mixed up, and the stories ending basically revealing that it was an unreliable telling of scrambled events in Klara's mind. The ending leaves you with such a hard hit, the story having been pretty wholesome for the most part. It's truly fantastic as behind the words, you could sense an undertone of something more being at play in the world they inhabit. It's led to many theories, including one where Josie is subsequently put into Klara in precaution of her eventual death. I feel like it's interesting how the story really leaves so much up to your interpretation. Yes, Josie recovered, but was that really how it happened? There's nothing to say that Klara is misremembering due to her circuits being damaged, or that, the most straight forward answer, being that Klara was abandoned and thrown away when Josie and her mother didn't need her anymore. Both interpretations leave you with a sad feeling that ties everything together to make this a truly great read.
