Synopsis

In this contemporary romcom retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma by USA TODAY bestselling author Jillian Cantor, there’s nothing more complex—or unpredictable—than love. When math genius Emma and her coding club co-president, George, are tasked with brainstorming a new project, The Code for Love is born. George disapproves of Emma’s idea of creating a matchmaking app, accusing her of meddling in people’s lives. But all the happy new couples at school are proof that the app works. At least at first. Emma’s code is flawless. So why is it that perfectly matched couples start breaking up, the wrong people keep falling for each other, and Emma’s own feelings defy any algorithm?

Emma decides to take her sister‘s advice literally deciding to create a......more

CW: Mother died when Emma was young, (view spoiler)[father has heart attack but recovers (hide spoiler)] Well, I love Jane Austen and I love reimaginings so I had high hopes. Sadly this didn't quite deliver for me. I think the story itself was somewhat engaging and I didn't hate the characters themselves. Unfortunately, I thought......more
