Plot was predictable and some of Mel’s missteps, particularly with regard to her job, were annoying. The tech industry stuff was more interesting than Mel and Alex’s relationship. That being said, I liked the relationship between Mel and her friends. The descriptions of tech industry bro-culture were unsettlingly accurate. Do you use online dating apps or websites? Mel uses website Fluttr to find a date, and instead, finds so much more! What feels like another date-gone-wrong instead turns into something hopeful when her hottie co-worker Alex arrives... but then so does his girlfriend... Fed up with her original date, she uses her skills as a computer coder to create website JerkAlert where women can post a warning of sorts to other women about the jerks on the Fluttr app. This is exactly where things begin to go a bit crazy! I loved reading the chain of events, so full of hope and heartbreak. It was great to see the positive vibes aimed at a woman in a male dominated industry and the way Mel handles herself. This entire book felt like a real-life look at a twenty-something trying to make their way in the world. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet romance to read! Swipe left or swipe right?? Fluttr is the latest and greatest dating app. In seconds you decide if you want to match with someone or not. Mel Strickland has had a batch of bad dates and too many bad messages from the app to count. She may work a helpdesk fixing tech “geniuses” computers at Hatch, but she in fact can code herself. In a weekend she comes up with Jerkalert (.biz not .com) after one too many dick pics. This is a forum for women to post reviews on the men they met on Fluttr. It sounds like a great idea, but it quickly turns her life upside down. Thankfully Mel had her girlfriends with her every step of the way. I loved how much they supported her throughout the entire story. And Mel…..she had depth. I hated her subway ride. I wanted to punch people at her work. I also wanted to sit her down and tell her to figure things out. She was just so human and so sweet. I loved this book. From the beginning I really wanted to know how it ended but forced myself to not peek at the ending. It reminds me of Christina Lauren (Josh & Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating) or Sally Thorne (The Hating Game). Not only was it fully of heart, but also great characters. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"By day, Mel Strickland is an underemployed helpdesk tech at a startup incubator, Hatch, where she helps entitled brogrammers--"Hatchlings"--who can't even fix their own laptops, but are apparently the next wave of startup geniuses. And by night, she goes on bad dates with misbehaving dudes she's matched with on the ubiquitous dating app, Fluttr. But after one too many, Mel has had it. Using her brilliant coding skills, she designs an app of her own, one that allows users to log harrassers and abusers in online dating space. It's called JerkAlert, and it goes viral overnight. Mel is suddenly in way over her head. Worse still, her almost-boyfriend, the dreamy Alex Hernandez has no idea she's the brains behind the app. Soon, Mel is faced with a terrible choice: one that could destroy her career, love life, and friendships, or change her life forever"--Provided by publisher.

This was a fun read! I was not a huge fan of the main character and was annoyed with her at times. However; I liked the overall story. It had great pacing and was a quick read. ( )
