An adorable opposites-attract YA romance, from the TikTok sensation and globally bestselling author of The Atlas Six (under the penname Olivie Blake). Alexene Farol Follmuth's My Mechanical Romance explores the vulnerability of first love . . . while building robots! 'It’s romcom perfection'...

Her painstakingly crafted tabletop game campaign was shot down, her best friend is suggesting she try being more “likable,” and her school's star running back Jack Orsino is the most lackadaisical Student Body President she’s ever seen, which makes her job as VP that much harder. Vi’s favorite escape from the world is the MMORPG Twelfth Knight, but online spaces aren’t exactly kind to girls like her—girls who are extremely competent and have the swagger to prove it. So Vi creates a masculine alter ego, choosing to play as a knight named Cesario to create a safe haven for herself.

Nerds sind heiß. Besonders Nerds, die Kampfroboter bauen! Bel würde lieber sterben, als Pläne für ihre Zukunft zu schmieden. Sich mit der College-Zulassung beschäftigen? Ha ha. Außerschulische Aktivitäten? Nie im Leben! Dann jedoch erkennt ihre Physiklehrerin ihre Begabung für Maschinenbau und steckt Bel kurzerhand ins Robotik-Team. Schlimmer: Die Jungs dort beachten Bel gar nicht, und Neelam, das einzige andere Mädchen im Team, kann sie offenbar ebenfalls nicht ausstehen. Da ist allerdings noch Mateo Luna, der Teamkapitän, der in Bel ein Potenzial zu sehen scheint.

Bel would rather die than think about the future. College apps? You’re funny. Extracurriculars? Not a chance. But when she accidentally reveals a talent for engineering at school, she’s basically forced into joining the robotics club. Even worse? All the boys ignore Bel—and Neelam, the only other girl on the team, doesn't seem to like her either. Enter Mateo Luna, captain of the club, who recognizes Bel as a potential asset—until they start butting heads. Bel doesn’t care about Nationals, while Teo cares too much. 

Bel non ha alcuna intenzione di pianificare il suo futuro. Le domande di ammissione all'università? Sono una noia mortale. Le attività extracurricolari? Neanche a parlarne. Vorrebbe solo sopravvivere all'ultimo anno di liceo, possibilmente senza crisi esistenziali e senza dover rispondere a domande troppo personali. Ma quando una catapulta improvvisata mette in luce il suo talento nascosto per l'ingegneria, la ragazza si ritrova, suo malgrado, nel bel mezzo del club di robotica.
