The Warm Machine by Aimee Cozza

When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he's working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root. COVER ARTIST: Aimee Cozza PUBLISHER: 9mm Press YEAR: 2024 LENGTH: 196 pages  AGE: Adult GENRE: Science Fiction RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: The main characters are robots, likely closest to aro/ace but those terms aren't quite applicable. Gender is also not an important factor. THE WARM MACHINE plays with ideas of friendship, connection, and searching for utopia, all through the lens of a construction robot who falls in love at first sight with a military bot....

Animorphs Book 32: The Separation by K. A. Applegate

Rachel has an accident in starfish morph and has to come to terms with herself. I like this exploration of Rachel's personality. It could have been cheesy, but it crafts a story where both parts of her have something she needs

The dynamics with the other Animorphs play out in several very interesting ways. Specifically I'm thinking of her approaches to Marco and Tobias (including their reactions), and how Cassie is the first to figure out what's going on. Erek's role is strange here, the plot needs him around but he seems more confused by humans than makes sense for someone his age.
