<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"When math genius Emma and her coding club co-president, George, are tasked with brainstorming a new project, The Code for Love is born. George disapproves of Emma's idea of creating a matchmaking app, accusing her of meddling in people's lives. But all the happy new couples at school are proof that the app works. At least at first. Emma's code is flawless. So why is it that perfectly matched couples start breaking up, the wrong people keep falling for each other, and Emma's own feelings defy any algorithm?"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>In this contemporary romcom retelling of Jane Austen's </strong><strong><em>Emma</em></strong><strong> by USA TODAY bestselling author Jillian Cantor, there's nothing more complex--or unpredictable--than love.</strong> <p/>When math genius Emma and her coding club co-president, George, are tasked with brainstorming a new project, The Code for Love is born. <p/>George disapproves of Emma's idea of creating a matchmaking app, accusing her of meddling in people's lives.

Considering the ubiquitous dating apps available, we have to wonder...is there an algorithm for love? Can passion be quantified? Could someone, with enough determination, truly code their own boyfriend?" -<em>NPR</em> <p/>"A warm coming-of-age story recommended for readers who enjoy a good Austen-esque romp with more modern themes." -<em>School Library Journal</em> <p/>"Modern twists to keep things fresh. Meticulous pacing and multilayered characters make this story a good choice for romance buffs looking for a light read." -<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <p/>"A delightful modern retelling of Jane Austen's Emma... A fun read for fans of Morgan Matson and Lauren Barnholdt." -<em>Booklist</em><br>
