ARC received in exchange for an honest review. Thank you, Quill Tree & Harper Collins!

You absolutely don’t want to miss this one. Wendy Xu comes back with another sweet and thoughtfully crafted graphic novel with an intricate storyline that will tug at your heartstrings. The Infinity Particle centers around Clem, who has recently moved to Mars for the dream opportunity of working with her idol, a pioneer in AI robotics. But when Clem meets Kye, Dr. Lin's AI assistant. His humanoid form and intelligence are cutting-edge, but his growing bond with Clem begins to cause glitches, and Dr. Lin becomes agitated the closer they get.

There are so many things I loved about this book, I wish I knew where to start. The amount of women in STEM made me so happy, and the owls? Owls in the library?? I had to put my phone down and scream into my pillow about it. Partially because of how much I loved them, and partially because they're not real yet! Why! I want library owls this instant!

That aside, I really enjoyed how the sweet romance weaved into conversations of consent, emotional abuse, and grief. The plot was far more intricate than I expected, which I found delightfully surprising. Clem and Kye both have my whole heart, and though I think the progression of their feelings felt abruptly resolved at the end, I didn't truly mind it. I just loved this book to bits, and it's one I highly recommend!
