A cute romance that unfolds in high school robotics.
I liked that this story revolved around characters in STEM and there was a cute romance. I loved that it wasn't the typical nerdy girl changing herself to fit some popular girl stereotype. Bel was just who she was the whole time. I enjoyed the alternating POVs between Bel and Tao, I think it helped move the story along and really show the two sides of the blossoming romance.
audio-specific: There were two narrators, one for Bel and one for Tao. I liked Bel's narrator a lot, but Tao's seemed to be a little slow for my taste. He was still good but just wish it had been picked up a little bit in the pacing.
overall an enjoyable romance in the world of STEM.
