The Code for Love and Heartbreak
by Jillian Cantor
This is a modern day twist on Emma by Jane Austen. I was super stoked after reading the premise and couldn’t wait to read this. I absolutely adore Emma. In this version Emma is a coder in highschool who decided to make a match making app in order to win a coding competition, and things go awry from there. In this version Emma is a socially awkward and shy coder who doesn’t understand love but understands math (her words). George knightly is her co-president and friend in coding club. Here’s the thing, I think this book is fine and I mean I’m sure a lot of people could love it, however it just did not work for me. The entire George and Emma situation just did not work for me. I didn’t feel their chemistry and I actually was much more invested in the friendship between Emma and Jane. Overall this book is great if you don’t really care for the original version of the story but I just didn’t like it as much as I wish I could have. If you’re looking for a quirky story about two coders and an app this might be for you!
