From Alexene Farol Follmuth comes My Mechanical Romance, an adorable opposites-attract YA romance that explores the vulnerability of first love.
When Bel accidentally reveals a talent for engineering at school, she’s forced into joining the robotics club.
Enter Mateo Luna, perfect on paper — captain of the football team and the robotics club — who recognizes Bel as a potential asset, even if they couldn’t be more different. And as the nights of after-school work grow longer, Bel and Teo realize they've made more than just a combat-ready robot for the championship: they’ve made a connection themselves.
But with graduation approaching, their differences and what they want for their futures threaten what they’ve built together.
Can they survive Nationals without breaking their robots — or their hearts?
Nerds are so hot. Especially battle–robot–building nerds.
