The Code for Love and Heartbreak is an inventive and cute contemporary retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma. It centers around Emma, an analytical number focused, top of her class student. Numbers are black and white and make sense to her – they always do what they’re supposed to and she much prefers straightforward numbers to subjective feelings. As co-president of her school’s coding club, she comes up with the idea for an app to predict a person’s “perfect match” based […]

Why Did I Read? I love both historical fiction and Greek mythology and I was so intrigued by this premise! A story set during World War I but told by Greek gods, Aphrodite in particular. Have you ever heard such a unique premise?? My Thoughts: This is probably one of the most unique book premises I’ve ever read. We hear the story as it’s being told by the goddess Aphrodite to her husband Hephaestus and to her lover Ares. She […]
