The story seems to have promise but didn’t suck me in after picking it up multiple times.

the first half of the book is 5 stars and the second half is so disappointing it made me melancholy. let’s normalize going back to the drawing board when the story is just not working!
judging by the other reviews, this will be my first and last Suzanne Park book.

This was a quick read with an interesting storyline. However, I don’t think it was for me. I enjoyed reading about Sara quitting her job, her developing her app, and her participation in the competition/mentoring program. However, I didn’t like how easily she forgave Jia, the drama with Harry and Naomi, Harry overall (being mid 30s still in love with your high school crush that has been married for a decade and is very unlikable in general was wild to me) and how repetitive and slow a lot of the chapters were. 2.5 stars

This was a classic Suzanne Park book, and I mean that in the best way! The characters are easy to root for, and the story was a fun and fresh take. I enjoyed the romance elements, but the focus really felt like it was on Sara's growth. I've read a few books about women in tech where I walk away just feeling so deflated, but I love that Sara's character encounters *difficult* people in positions of power with a confidence in who she is and what she has to offer. This was a read I walked away from with a smile on my face.
