Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! How are you all today? I hope well.

Today is another day for a review and now without further ado, let’s start with the actual post.

DISCLAIMER: A review copy of this book was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts are my own.

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?

First, before I even start writing anything about the book, can we please talk about this cover! It looks so pretty and I’m just in love with it. And I can assure you that the rest of the book is also pretty great!

So where should I start? When I heard that this would be more of a modern retelling of “Emma” by Jane Austen, I knew that I had to read this book. Last year I’ve listened to the audio version of the original “Emma” and loved the story. I was wondering how the modern version would look like and I haven’t been disappointed. It’s most certainly not the same thing and can’t be compared to the book written by Jane Austen but still it was nearly flawless. “The Code for Love and Heartbreak” is about a young girl trying to find a mathematical way to understand love, and I was pretty intrigued by this concept.

However, you as a reader are coming pretty quick to the conclusion that love cannot be determined by maths or anything else. These are real feelings that you simply cannot play with and sometimes there is no real explanation to love.

I loved the writing style. Unfortunately the plot about the love interest became very predictable. It just had to be that certain someone and it becomes very soon very evident. It’s the only thing I really have to criticize. Other than that the book was perfect! It’s a cute and funny read about how to find love through an algorithm and I loved reading the story. “The Code for Love and Heartbreak” is fast-paced and if my life wasn’t so stressful right now, I could have easily read it in one sitting.

Overall, if you are a fan of cute and funny YA novels then I highly recommend this beauty to you.
