So, this is what this book gave us: - POC Representation (FMC is Half Filipino - had a lot of Filo references which I Loved and MMC is half Mexican) - Battle Robot building MCs in STEM - A MMC who is not only a genius that builds robots but is also the captain of the soccer varsity team - Mutual Pining - Academic Rivals to Lovers - So so so much more!!
I genuinely did not know what to expect from this book especially given that it's my first STEM romance but it was phenomenal!! From the start I was hooked by the uniqueness of the main characters and the writing. The progression of the characters from academic rivals to friends to lovers was honestly such a beautiful and cute progression.
Not to mention, the characters were also insanely relatable and so beautifully diverse with little bits of each other's culture which really captured me. The struggles of each character, most especially Bel's, brought me back to high school and made me feel so nostalgic with the anxious churning feeling when applying for colleges and I love how Alexene was able to capture that. Though my favorite scene definitely has to be the Holi scene which was so beautiful and honestly made me really want to attend a festival like that. Overall, this book was adorable and seriously blew my expectations out of the park with the characters, writing, the plot, the flow, and literally just everything!...more

i honestly fell in love at the start and it felt so promising and it kind of was. I did relate and love the characters but ultimately, some things were repetitive, i got bored at some parts, and also this specific scene where clay bullied olivia was a little too much for me and i went through the book with it at the back of my mind.
