Not for me. While the premise sounded interesting, I just couldn’t get into it.

I remember reading this during class in non scripture. It was generally a short, quick and simple book
It would get a higher rating but it was too simple and fast paced to the point where there could have been more but everything was skimmed over.

This book took me longer than normal to get through. It was a very cute premise and a good change on the enemy to lovers trope. I think if I had a little more interest in STEM romance I would love this book.

a crime i admit to committing is not starting this as soon as it got released. MY BELTEO TEOBEL OR WHATEVER THEIR SHIP NAME IS i love them so much :( my babies omg their monologues remind me so much of flipped and i just ?!&?:?#;?:!

i hope we get more of them PLEASE i need more of them or more books from alexene I NEEEED IT maybe we can take a break from the atlas trilogy and focus on belteo

This was a wholesome read! Bel was a character after my own heart: she's at first a major procrastinator who wants nothing to do with being organized, or planning ahead in life and finding passion in STEM, while dealing with her parents' divorce - all very relatable to me and you can clearly see (not only in this book, but within all of her work) how much Olivie Blake loves science. I appreciated the romance that formed between Bel and Teo and how their love for robotics really shined outside of that. The third act break up was completely understandable to me and I enjoyed that their journeys to college felt realistic. Overall, a cute YA contemporary romance!
