Swipe right for love. Swipe left for disaster.
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 dick pic 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—the only non-douchey guy at Hatch—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.
Mel is sick and tired of being pushed around by the frat bro recent college grads that she works with who think they are better than her. She wants to be coding her app and dating someone seriously, not dealing with unsolicited pictures of the male genitals.
I am a huge fan of romance novels and I love characters that go after what they want.
Mel is strong, fierce and determined. She knows what she wants and she actually goes after it. She doesn’t sit around waiting for It to fall in her lap.
Her friends are fierce, loving and also just as determined as she is. I love the group of women we meet in this novel.
This was a fun read and I love how the characters are smart women going after what they want.
