Love, Decoded by Jennifer Yen

4.0

This book was seriously SO fun. As a coder myself, this book was in the flow! I loved the idea of creating a matchmaking app to honor her aunt's business and help highschoolers make new friends, and the whole experience was totally realistic. We additionally got to see the microaggressions and bullying common to teens today. Gigi's friends are really the stars of this book, Kyle and Etta in particular. They really better her as a person and help her grow throughout. Overall this book was a quick and delightful read that I'd recommend to anyone wanting to read a YA contemporary with a bit of STEM and culture coded in.
