Holiday House My Mechanical Romance

I saw academic rivals to lovers and I had to have it, and this book did not disappoint. The cover is so pretty and the writing style made this book so easy to read.The dual-pov made knowing and loving the characters so easy. The development of the romantic relationship was a slow burn, but so perfect. The developments of all the relationships involved made this book an absolute delight to read.Bel was so witty and quirky. I loved when I found out that she's half-Filipino too. I've never read a book where the main character was at least a little similar to me. This book had so much diversity in general, which was perfect. The girl power in this book was great. STEM can be such a hard area for women to want to go into, and this book highlighted perfectly why. The only thing I would have liked more would be more Bel and Teo. I would so so recommend this book.Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this book. All views expressed in this review are completely my own.Bel would rather die than think about the future. College apps? Extracurriculars? No thanks. But when she accidentally reveals a talent for engineering at school, she’s basically forced into joining the robotics club. Even worse? Everyone on the team ignores her, apart from Teo Luna. Unfortunately they clash a little when it comes to building bots. As the nights of after-school work grow longer and longer, Bel and Teo realize they've made more than just a combat-ready robot for the championship: they’ve made each other and the team better. Because girls do belong in STEM.

In the modern world of female led STEM books very few have POC leads. Bel and Teo are a breath of fresh air with bringing their culture to the story. The robotics club was great and the friendships the characters had felt so natural, as did the budding romance. I would highly recommend this book for anybody who wants to have a richer STEM lead in their life, or to inspire a young friend/family member that being a nerd is cool and to never be shamed of your interests.

Really enjoyed the story! Love the cover design! I there was no adult scene in the book, so it will be perfect for younger readers. I would recommend age 12/13+ (But that’s my opinion). But while reading I saw that one of the pages was ripped, that part was stuck to the next page. I taped it where it supposed te be, but I still think this is bad, because this was a pricier book since it just came out.

Non ho ancora letto il libro, è arrivato in buone condizioni.

saw this in a tweet recommendation for a specific trope I addore 'academic rivals to lovers' and euuuhhh it wasn't quite that. Not bad but not fun either. if this book wasnt 280p I don't think I would've been able to finish it. But yeah not bad it was readable !
