I love dating app books and stories! This was such a cute story about a college girl who creates a dating app and pairs up her clasmates. There are some heavier tones to this book, ie. grief, but it was sweet and emotional!

This queer YA college romance sounded great - a first year student creates an algorithm to match students with their perfect romantic mate but things go sideways like they always do. I liked the exploration of identity and sexuality and that there was a STEM focus but didn't love the narrator (I listened to the voice galley and the final narration by Catherine Ho) and thought the story was longer than it needed to be. Recommended for fans of books like My mechanical heart. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early ALC in exchange for my honest feedback.

I forgot to leave a review for this, but I really enjoyed it! It's already out, so I won't say much more than I need to for my star rating. <3

Grace Tang is a college freshman overcoming grief and hoping to finish college early and get on with her life.
She invents an algorithm that is better than any internet matching site! The idea is to match students with their perfect romantic campus match,

Although I am not the target audience for this but as a High School Guidance Counselor I love to read YA stories.
It pleases me when I can recommend a book as well just talk about books and encouraging reading for fun other than text books.

I love a good audiobook however not big fan of a digital narrator but have to admit this Voice Galley wasn’t too bad however I prefer a professional audiobook performer .

Want to thank NetGalley and Harper Audio/-Quill Tree Books for this early audio.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for May 14, 2024.
