A review by nicolemhewitt
Love, Decoded by Jennifer Yen

A fun Emma retelling that sticks surprisingly close to the original story, only with a contemporary setting (and a bit less romance). I actually wished I'd remembered that it was a retelling while I was reading--I saw it in the blurb after I'd already finished the book--because I think it would have helped me be more invested in the characters if I'd been making those comparisons while I read it. The book really picks up in the last 25% when everything starts to go terribly wrong (and then the pieces have to be put back together again). By then, I was furiously flipping the pages.
