I was provided with an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! I felt it was rather true to life about how women coders are oftener treated in the tech arena, but the constant sexual harassment isn’t necessarily something that would fly as easily as it did in this book - but every company is different so I would not put it past a bunch of men either. Melanie was real and relatable and Alex did come off kinda shady but Mel was acting shady too really. It was a fun read and I recommend it!

I know it's only January, but without a doubt, How to Hack a Heartbreak WILL be making my top books of 2019 list! I absolutely loved this story from start to finish. Mel Strickland is fed up with being a tech professional in a male driven industry, but even more than that, she's sick of the current dating environment - being sent inappropriate pictures before even exchanging a word, being "ghosted, being stood up with no apology - so when Mel goes out drinking with girlfriends, she stumbles home and decides to create a little website called JerkAlert as a goof, where women can rate the jerk's they've gone out with to warn other women of what's out there.

There was so much about Mel I found myself relating to (and ugh, in the whole online dating/swipe culture situation), I quite possibly thought Rockaway was observing me and my friends while writing this (hello SoulCycle references!!!)... I was finding every moment possible to read this today, including finishing up on my lunch break, it was just that good! I think anyone who is a fan of Christina Lauren's work would love this one or maybe just someone else who has swiped on one too many wastes of time!

Thank you to Graydon House for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

I liked parts of this book, however the ending felt really rushed. While the technology portion is important, the romance took a complete step back, which is what I was expecting the focus to be.

Really cute story! I think I liked the relationship with the friends as much as the romantic one between the two main characters. I really liked the story line too. Good book!

I very much enjoyed this title, although I feel it should be billed to a younger set. Having some knowledge of coding and social media, I was able to keep up with the terms in a way I expect older readers would not. It was a fun and enjoyable story and I very much loved the variety of characters and the friendship which was a foundation to the story. I would hope there will be spin-off titles involving each of the other characters!
