I'm a nerd, something that I openly admit, and seeing all of the main characters have the same love for learning that I did especially in the STEM fields felt so amazing. The characters were just atrocious, with some having very unnecessary personalities that didn't add much to the book and only served to frustrate. There were so many instances when she was competing in robotics where people on the opposite teams said she was just "diversity points" or "token diversity girl.

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.I did like the messages said throughout this story: Women could also succeed in STEM and they were also smart, and it wasn't just men.

It’s actually a pretty accurate depiction of how hostile nerd guys are towards women in “male dominated fields,” it’s just this throughline is thrown to the wayside and glossed over in the third-act.They were academic rivals turned friends to lovers and it was so cute to watch them help each other in robot building while also falling for each other. Oh, and if you’re a fan of The Atlas Six, this is the, um, non-penname—is this even a thing—of Olivie Blake. Yes she might be a bit grumpy but wow I mean no wonder with how you treat her and how you think she’s really dumb and doesn’t know anything. Oftentimes that's how it is, but I don't think it's necessary healthy for teenagers who are dating to only have each other in their lives and no one else, and no outside hobbies.

A big aspect of this book centers on how Bel is overlooked on the team and issues of misogyny lurk under a lot of the interactions.This is a truly heart-warming story of loss, recovery and above all, of community' Bernie McGill, author of The Watch House. As previously said, the beginning was hard for me to get through because it felt very juvenile and disconnected from the rest of the book.
