Yen, J: Love, Decoded

Produktbeschreibung

For fans of Jenny Han and Jane Austen, a rom-com that's equal parts hilarious and heartfelt about the unexpected consequences of one teen's quest to help her friends find love, from the author of A Taste for Love.

Junior year is exhausting. Gigi Wong works hard to make herself the perfect candidate for colleges, the perfect friend, the perfect daughter. But it's hard to stand out when everyone around her appears perfect too. At least her best friend, Kyle, is always there to bring ramen from their favorite restaurant when she needs a break.



But when an acquaintance from one of her volunteer programs transfers to her school, Gigi knows what to do to stand out: she'll create a matchmaking app. She has the know-how, thanks to her coding experience and all those weekends she spent shadowing her great-aunt, a professional matchmaker. Gigi figures she'll help Etta make friends-and win entry to the tech internship competition that is sure to guarantee her college acceptance, all at once. Win-win. Except it doesn't quite go as planned.



Suddenly, Gigi finds herself at the center of a scandal-and hurt feelings. She never meant to hurt anyone, let alone Etta and Kyle. Where did Gigi go wrong? And can she fix the fallout without losing the people who are most important to her? 

Kritik

"The warmth of friendship and family closeness shine through banter-filled dialogue and the characters use of food as a love language, with a touch of romance to round out the end. Effortlessly entertaining." Kirkus Reviews

"Yen wonderfully mixes the plot of Jane Austen's Emmawith a modern heroine who loves to program. This combination creates an exceptionally blendednovel featuring romance, friendship, and computer programming that young adult readers willenjoy." Booklist Reviews
