Summary
An “effortlessly entertaining” (Kirkus Review) young adult rom-com about the unexpected consequences of one teen’s quest to help her friends find love.

“Mixes the plot of Jane Austen’s Emma with a modern heroine who loves [computer programming].”—Booklist

High school junior Gigi Wong strives to be the best. After all, that’s what everyone expects of her—her parents, friends, and even potential colleges. Thankfully, her best friend, Kyle, is always there to listen with a smile and a delicious bowl of ramen. Still, with her future—and her dreams—on the line, how is she to stand out when her classmates seem so perfect too?

Her answer comes in the form of an app writing contest. If Gigi can secure the nomination to represent her school, she has a chance at a prestigious tech internship. That’s sure to get her applications noticed . . . All she needs is a winning entry.

When transfer student and new friend Etta confides that she’s struggling to fit in, it gives Gigi an idea. What if she takes what she’s learned from shadowing her aunt Rose, a professional matchmaker, to create a fun friend-making app? Perfect!

In fact, Gigi’s app soon goes viral at school. Suddenly, she’s the center of attention—and a major scandal. She never meant to hurt anyone, let alone Etta and Kyle. Can she save all she worked so hard for and the relationships that mean so much to her?

Critic reviews

"The warmth of friendship and family closeness shine through banter-filled dialogue and the characters’ use of food as a love language, with a touch of romance to round out the end. Effortlessly entertaining."—Kirkus Reviews

"Yen wonderfully mixes the plot of Jane Austen's Emma with a modern heroine who loves to program. This combination creates an exceptionally blended novel featuring romance, friendship, and computer programming that young adult readers will enjoy."—Booklist Reviews
