If you want to see my much more in depth review, you can check it out on my book blog NovelOnMyMind. However, I was sympathising with her when I finally got to know her reasons for doing those things to Bel.

I love how all the side characters have their own personality and share an important part in the story.As a result of a teacher witnessing Bel's potential in engineering, she is transferred into the AP Physics course and eventually joins the school's robotics team (per her teacher/Ms. Teo Luna was also an amazing character, in the beginning I was a bit hesitant on his story and personality, but he won me over by the end. Especially when for a large portion of the book, those nerds are entitled, misogynistic dorks surrounded by other misogynistic yes-men.

He has come to try to process his grief and make himself desirable again as a husband, a father and a business partner. Seeing Bel realize why Naleem is as cold as she is , also towards her made me happy and sad at the same time. I do like her character though, and I like how she got to figure out where she wanted to go in life, who she wanted to be, and what she wanted to do. I couldn't stop reading it as Tuna and this happened till the ending of this book 😭 Teo was a nerd (a hot nerd if I must say 🤭 and where did all the hot nerds were when I was in school 🥲) He had this sense of duty towards everyone in his life and he liked being busy or trusted by other people which is a good thing until he made it his habbit or a need. I mean let’s be honest I feel like a lot of women would react similarly after so many years of fighting and not being respected.She has to change to schools due to her parents’ complicated divorce and, once her talent for engineering is spotted by a well-meaning teacher (a genuinely well-meaning teacher, I hasten to add) she ends up joining the school’s robotics club. 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. The romance was very sweet and cute, and I liked how the final conflict between them was negotiated. Alexene/Olivie portrayed the way girls are treated in a world/workspace/study space dominated by men in its majory, and I totally liked it. As a woman in STEM, I really appreciate the commentary on sexism and elitism of the field as they are very well-represented in my opinion.
