My mechanical romance - alexene farol follmuth

Opposites attract in this nerdy YA romance from the NYT best-selling author of The Atlas Six! Bel doesnt want to think about the future.

College apps? Youre funny.

Extracurriculars? Not a chance.

Joining a robotics club filled with boys who ignore her or--even worse--constantly ask if she needs help? Please, anything but that.

But when she accidentally reveals a talent for engineering in class, she has no choice.

Enter Mateo Luna, the handsome captain of the club.

Teo instantly recognizes Bels talent.

He needs her on the team.

And not just because he cant stop thinking about the tiny dusting of freckles around her eyes, or how she got him hooked on Taylor Swift--its 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 of color face in STEM and the vulnerability of first love with unfailing wit and honesty.

Told from dual points of view, My Mechanical Romance is not only swoonworthy--its downright empowering.
