🍹 Drink pairing: Today is not only the release date of this amazing book but it’s also my birthday 🥳 So obviously I had to treat myself to both a binge read sesh and this delish Wild Berry Shack Ice from my new favorite spot up in the Berkshires! 

Thank you so much to Holiday House and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. And a huge + happy pub day to one of my favs.

⭐️ Review: Okay so I loooooved this story. Many of us know and love the author by her pen name - Olivie Blake - but this story was very different from everything else she has written. After reading this book I am fully convinced that she can write any book in any genre and just absolutely kill it.

Let me just say I’m a sucker for a YA romance and I’m not even kidding you, this is now my all time favorite. 😅

The characters? Chef’s kiss. I loved every single character in their own way, especially Bel and Teo, but honestly I want to read books about every single side character too.

The writing keeps you captivated and you go from smiling to laughing to even tearing up. The message of this story is also so powerful and I just love seeing not only the women in STEM representation, but specifically women of color in STEM rep, and also just seeing young women break through any male dominated industry (which let’s face it, is most of them).

On a personal note, I also loved the many TSwift mentions, the setting of LA and even Teo’s house in the Hills since that’s where I grew up (half of the time). That being said, this story did an amazing job of representing the struggles of being a senior in high school with parents going through a divorce as well. It definitely brought me back and seeing Bel’s struggles on finding herself and trying to plan for college when she feels like she can’t keep up with her peers really resonated with me. It’s nice to see some representation of an extremely bright and driven girl who’s not forcing herself into just the conventional graduate-high-school-and-go-straight-to-a-four-year-college box because that’s just not how it gets to happen for all of us 🤷‍♀️❤️

“My Mechanical Romance” hit the shelves today so I highly recommend you binge-read it ASAP so you can enjoy your new ultimate fav YA romance!
