Love, Decoded by Jennifer Yen

mchllchng's review

The writing style was too juvenile for me

Sooo good! I love the first book (A Taste for Love) as a take on P&P and this is a take on Emma but with plenty of nuance. Plus the protagonist, Gigi, is the sister of the love interest of TFL-So great when we get to stay in the same world tangentially! I love that protagonist is a coder and the descriptions of food and clothing are so great -I love the little details. Plus the characters and situations ring true and the whole story is just lovely. Jennifer Yen is one of my new favorite writers. Great for middle school through adults!

I liked it, I thought it was cute but had some issues with the main character. I really liked the little romance and I wish that was a bigger part of the book.

I loved this book as well as A Taste of Love by the same author. It’s Kdrama meets Jane Austen in the modern world and it’s great.

the writing style of the book is SO bad 😭😭 i really wanted to like it because i love a girl in STEM but it’s so boring i’m ngl and the book sounds like it was written by a middle schooler “i did unlocked the door” “i did this” “i did that” GIRL VARY UR SENTENCES
