The Trouble with Robots by Michelle Mohrweis
4.0
I had high hopes for this, and it did not disappoint. I would love to see more people reading this, because it's such a great middlegrade story that deserves a lot more ratings and reviews!
From the very first page, this book punched me in the gut with how emotionally invested I immediately felt. When you're 13, your emotions all feel so heightened and intense, and this was really palpable throughout the entire book.
The book has two main character: Evelyn, who is autistic and (I assume) bisexual, and Addie, who is questioning aroace. Evelyn already loves robotics and Addie is just getting into it, and they start off fighting, but throughout the book, they figure out that maybe they could get along great and even be friends.
As an autistic and aroace person, it was really great to see this representation in one book! And I especially loved how fleshed out both characters were and how they each had very clear flaws but were also so loveable.
