I absolutely LOVED this book! It has enemies-to-friends-to-lovers and they're also academic rivals AND this book is about STEM. I mean, how cool is all of this?
Other than that, the book has great characters. You truly believe them. On the one hand, we have Bel - a school graduate who does not know what she wants to do in life, but suddenly finds her favorite hobby - creating robots. On the other hand, Theo - the head of the robotics club, from whom everyone (parents, teachers, friends) expects too much, so he is constantly trying to solve everyone's problems.
In addition to the main characters, I want to talk about Neelam - a wonderful girl, the attitude towards which completely changes while reading the book. I really enjoyed Neelam and Bel's conversations about feminism at the end of the book. I'm glad that the authors bring up such topics in young adult books. Also, the parental divorce is described in this book and Bel and her two brothers show us how children deal with it in different ways.
All in all, this is a wonderful book about finding yourself, growing up, graduating from school and, of course, first love. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to read young adult book that is sweet and cute AND deals with serious topics at the same time.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.1108
