I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own.
This book was published on July 30 so if you're interested in it, you should definitely check it out!
When I first read the premise of this book, it spoke to my soul. Our main character, Mel, is a tech specialists where she fixes computers for "tech gods" who don't have near the amount of knowledge that she does. After one too many bad online dates, she creates a website where girls can log their experiences with jerks, along with their names, photos, and ages. As expected, the site blows up. While all of this is going on, Mel is also starting to fall for Alex, one of her coworkers.
Before I met my husband, like Mel, I went on bad date after bad date myself. I unfortunately was also the UNWILLING recipient of many a picture of a random male's genitalia. So I absolutely understood her frustrations and where she was coming from when she created her website. I also felt her frustration being a girl in a predominately male filled technology field. I can imagine what it's like to bow down to a bunch of men who are "more important than you" just because they are men, even when you're smarter than they are. The number of times I read "girls can't code for shit" was frustrating. (Side note, I am a female, and while I CAN do basic coding, it's not my jam). Every girl has that moment where she feels less than, because society tells us that as women, we ARE less than. This book was a charming story of one girl's comeuppance against her male counterparts. She got to be smart and got the guy in the end.
This was a seriously cute book. It was an easy and fun read, and I can totally see recommending it for the 20 Somethings crowd, especially those who love a HEA like I do.
