6.4.2026 - Valet

Valet by J.P. Lacrampe 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Saga Press for gifting me both a physical and digital ARC of this wonderful debut novel by JP Lacrampe.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

Cy has worked for the St Claire family since his inception, and his owner has tasked him to help her 35-year-old son, Grayson, do more with his life.  Grayson is nothing like his CEO sister, Charlotte, who is running the family robotics company after their dad died.  But when Grayson learns that Charlotte plans to sell the company to a tech conglomerate, he panics.  He doesn't want the technology their dad created over the year, like Cy, to be in the wrong hands.  So he does what he thinks he must, and soon he's on the run

I absolutely adored this quirky book and all its characters, but especially Cy for showing us just what it means to be human.  This book has it all - family drama, corporate espionage, second and third chances, working together to accomplish what we can't on our own - all in a way that will have you cheering on robots, laughing and tearing up along the way.  It's dystopian light, showing us a world run by technology and robots, but one that still feels like home.  It's hopeful, cozy, and perfect - just what I needed in a book today.  Don't miss this one!
