Summary from GoodReads
On a floating junkyard beneath a radiation sky, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap.
Eve isn’t looking for secrets—she’s too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she’s just spent six months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, and the only thing keeping her Grandpa from the grave was the fistful of credits she just lost to the bookies. To top it off, she’s discovered she can destroy electronics with the power of her mind, and the puritanical Brotherhood are building a coffin her size. If she’s ever had a worse day, Eve can’t remember it.
But when Eve discovers the ruins of an android boy named Ezekiel in the scrap pile she calls home, her entire world comes crashing down. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic conscience, Cricket, in tow, she and Ezekiel will trek across deserts of irradiated glass, infiltrate towering megacities and scour the graveyard of humanity’s greatest folly to save the ones Eve loves, and learn the dark secrets of her past.
Even if those secrets were better off staying buried.

REVIEW
When you know that the author is a mastermind of twisting your emotions and create amazing worlds in his books, you come back for more like a chocolate addict.That's what happened with LIFEL1K3. I knew that this book was going to have some serious revelations, but I didn't expect the ending!
But let's go back; Eve lives with her Grandpa who is sick her best friend is named Lemon Fresh and she has an amazing cyborg dog which despite being like a metal skeleton with fur, he is an absolute cinnamon roll. There's also Kricket the little robot who also is hilarious as hell.
And when Eve loses control on a huge robot fight and accidentally fries every circuit, strange enemies will appear, a boy named Ezekiel will arrive and try to help her and from there my dear friends comes the pitch with which Jay Kristoff gained the publication of the book. Because seriously, this action-packed adventure, through bio-engineered whales, Mad-Max-Fury wild desert storms and cities balanced on old ruins is not going to be forgotten soon.
And honestly if not a saga of movies I demand at least an anime or a graphic novel!
The world-building, the robots, the Lifelike's the fighting, the PREACHER! Even his murderous bot-dogs were amazing!
And the ending? Or maybe the final chapters that led to the ending? Well, as always Jay Kristoff knows how to gut my heart happily into tiny pieces while smiling gleefully. Because he knows that I know that I am going to read anything he writes! And I love his stories for it!
