An oldie but goodie (assuming it still holds up, it’s been a while and times have changed): Object of My Affection by Stephen Macauley

Me too! She’s my favorite. |
| Although it doesn't seem like it at first glance, but I think the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells (first book is All Systems Red) would fall into this category. It's about a security drone that hacks it's regulator so it can do whatever it wants, but what they want is really just to watch videos and avoid people. I really liked the GraphicAudio version of the audiobooks. Most of the series are novellas, so they are nice and short. |

Oh wait…there is some romance…but it’s not the entire plot. Magical realism. |
| I just read The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate with my 12 year old. If you’re open to YA, it was SO delightful and heartwarming. |
