My Mechanical Romance
by Alexene Farol Follmuth
Thank you to Holiday House and Netgalley for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
OH MY WORD THIS WAS SO GOOD! I have not devoured a book this quick in quite a long time. This was addicting, adorable and everything I have ever needed in a book. Bel and Teo were just a fantastic MC/LI. This delightful tale is full of heart, growth, ambition and an adorable romance sure to leave you ready to try and build a battle bot.
Farol Follmuth truly exceeded my expectations for this book. I expected it to be an adorable YA contemporary ready to give me all the feels. What I got was so much more than that. The journey that Bel goes on (with a little help from her friends) is inspiring. The dynamic between Bel and Neelam does a phenomenal job to highlight the challenges in STEM for women and I loved how it played out. I loved the growth for Bel when it came to her parents and how to navigate her parents divorce. Overall, this book was incredibly well done. From the plot, to the characters, to the voice and prose, this book sings with perfection from page one. Bel's personality is fun, carefree and she is downright hilarious. I loved every second of this.
After spending days bingewatching Battle Bots, this book gave me everything I needed. Now, time to figure out how to have a meet cute at a battle bots competition. I think I should learn how to build a robot first. But, Bel and Neelam make me believe I can do anything!
