“It’s rom-com perfection.”—Adiba Jaigirdar, author of The Henna Wars
Bel doesn’t want to think about the future. College apps? You’refunny. Extracurriculars? Not a chance. Joining a robotics club filledwith boys who ignore her or–even worse–constantly ask if she needshelp? Please, anything but that. But when she accidentally reveals atalent for engineering in class, she has no choice. EnterMateo Luna, the handsome captain of the club.
Teo instantly recognizesBel’s talent. He needs her on the team. And not just because he can’tstop thinking about the tiny dusting of freckles around her eyes, or how shegot him hooked on Taylor Swift–it’s because Bel sees him. She challenges him. But when they seriously start butting heads, Bel wonders: Is there really room for a girl like her in STEM?
In her YA debut, Alexene Farol Follmuth, author of The Atlas Six (under the penname Olivie Blake), explores both the challenges girls ofcolor face in STEM and the vulnerability of first love with unfailingwit and honesty. Told from dual points of view, My Mechanical Romance is not only swoonworthy–it’s downright empowering.
