From the globally bestselling, TikTok viral author of The Atlas Six (under the penname Olivie Blake) comes My Mechanical Romance, an adorable opposites-attract YA romance that explores the vulnerability of first love.
'Academic rivals to lovers is one of my favourite tropes and this book delivered it perfectly' - Lottie, NetGalley review
'I sped through this book and loved every minute' - Poppy, NetGalley Review
'An adorable, nerdy, feel-good read that will leave you blissfully satisfied' - NetGalley Review
Nerds are so hot. Especially battle–robot–building nerds.
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, threatens what they’ve built together. Can they survive Nationals without breaking their robots – or their hearts?
