Love, Decoded by Jennifer Yen
3.0
Thank you kindly to Penguin Publishing Group for providing me with an eARC to read and review
I was so excited to read this book, but I'm sad to say that it did not live up to my expectations. I thought it was a rom-com, but the romance aspect was severely lacking.
Love, Decoded was a coming-of-age story, that followed Gigi an upper-class student that strives on being the best student. It's an innovative retelling of Emma by Jane Austen, yet with less character growth by the end of the novel.
I'm not going to lie; I was little bored reading it, even though it had so much going on! It had so many relationships, the matchmaking, the competition; I honestly couldn't keep up at times. I do wish that by the end of the book, we had more closure, I had so many questions left unanswered. *sad*
Love, Decoded was supposed to be a friends-to-lovers romance, which made me super excited about it, but Kyle was barely in the book.
If you are looking for a light coming of age story, with a touch of romance that deals with some important issues Love, Decoded is the one for you!
