My Mechanical Romance by Alexene Farol Follmuth

4.0

I received a copy of My Mechanical Romance via NetGalley to read and review.

The story revolves around high schoolers Bel and Teo. Bel transferred to the school and meets Teo when she is coerced to try out for the robotics team by a physics teacher. Initially they do not get along but start building a bot together and the relationship changes.

The characters are witty and smart and are written how I would imagine teenagers to be. This is a very tame romcom which I’m fine with since this takes place in high school. I also like that the author addresses how boys are treated much different than girls in STEM and the fact that boys are often encouraged to do STEM where that’s not usually the case for girls.

This is a great quick read that I do recommend.
