This was so cute！ I'm so happy I read this， it's the perfect quick read for when you're in the middle of a reading slump or if you're just having a bad day。 Just super adorable and heartwarming！This follows Ashley， a coding queen， who kind of goes off the deep end after finding out she's rejected from a summer internship program。 I love any YA novels that feature young women who are into technology and coding！ It's so important girls have these kind of role models growing up so that they can fe This was so cute！ I'm so happy I read this， it's the perfect quick read for when you're in the middle of a reading slump or if you're just having a bad day。 Just super adorable and heartwarming！This follows Ashley， a coding queen， who kind of goes off the deep end after finding out she's rejected from a summer internship program。 I love any YA novels that feature young women who are into technology and coding！ It's so important girls have these kind of role models growing up so that they can feel like anything is possible。 Ashley makes mistakes and she dates the wrong guy and sometimes says the wrong things but that's what makes her human and a young girl just trying to figure her shit out。 At the end， it all works out the way it's supposed to and I think it teaches the valuable lesson of moving on even when things don't work out the way you wanted them to。While there were parts of this novel that definitely got on my nerves and while it wasn't always written in the most cohesive way， I was smiling ear-to-ear by the end of it。 I would totally reread this if I was feeling down。 I think a lot of teen girls out there would enjoy this book and if you're a Swiftie， you'll adore this book。 Highly， highly recommend。 。。。more

Ashley Bergen has one thing， and one thing only on her mind: the future。 Between her immaculate vision board， her stellar SAT scores， her math/coding/tutoring extracurriculars， and her top notch grades， Ashley’s acceptance to the summer internship of her dreams should be a no-brainer。 Also a no-brainer is Ashley’s non-existent love life。 Or social life。 Or any life beyond getting out of Brooklyn and into Silicon Valley。 However， you can’t force life to go your way， and when Ashley finds all her Ashley Bergen has one thing， and one thing only on her mind: the future。 Between her immaculate vision board， her stellar SAT scores， her math/coding/tutoring extracurriculars， and her top notch grades， Ashley’s acceptance to the summer internship of her dreams should be a no-brainer。 Also a no-brainer is Ashley’s non-existent love life。 Or social life。 Or any life beyond getting out of Brooklyn and into Silicon Valley。 However， you can’t force life to go your way， and when Ashley finds all her plans burnt to smithereens， her childhood best friend and rising social media prankster， Jason， challenges her to let go and let loose because they only get to experience high school once。 Rattled by rejection， Ashley decides to make a change。 She’s saying yes instead of no （TS reference is a yes here because Ashley is a huge Swiftie！）。 Enter Walker Beech， the beautiful， charismatic， mysterious boy from Ashley’s history class that Ashley has been secretly crushing on for more than a year。 When fate throws Ashley a chance， she decides to jump then fall into Walker。 Then all hell breaks loose。 For context: Walker is high key “The Way I Loved You” and “I Knew You Were Trouble” vibes and。。。Jason is “You Belong With Me” and “Lover” vibes。 Needless to say， Ashley has some breaking up and coming undone to go through， and maybe even a rollercoaster kind of rush or two before it’s all said and done。 。。。more

This was just a sweet， adorable read， nothing heavy and a nice way to spend a gentle afternoon。 I loved that the main focus of the novel was girls in a STEM setting， and as it made me feel like I'd like to know a little more about coding， hopefully it can have that affect on those a bit younger than me too。 It's always great to be in a New York setting， even if there were only brief snatches of Manhattan here and there throughout the novel。 There is a clear winner in the love interest space from This was just a sweet， adorable read， nothing heavy and a nice way to spend a gentle afternoon。 I loved that the main focus of the novel was girls in a STEM setting， and as it made me feel like I'd like to know a little more about coding， hopefully it can have that affect on those a bit younger than me too。 It's always great to be in a New York setting， even if there were only brief snatches of Manhattan here and there throughout the novel。 There is a clear winner in the love interest space from just a few pages in， and I was rooting for him the whole time。 Ashley herself was a good amount of naive whilst still having her own thoughts and goals， which made the story and the characters feel believable。 My only criticism is the almost instalove scenario， and two of the characters declaring their love for each other before they've even kissed。 It made the book and the characters themselves feel a little more juvenile， which didn't really feel like it fitted with the rest of the book。 'I really like you' would have worked so much better！ All in all， a super readable book that would make a lovely beach read in the summer months！ 。。。more

This was a very cute story， that was super easy to read and went by really fast。 Ashley reminded me of myself in high school， which made me laugh， loved her friendships， felt kind of bad for her because of her dad， I wanted to shake him as a mom， and her decisions made me cringe。 So glad that I’m not in high school anymore。 Overall I enjoyed the story， there were a lot of Taylor Swift references that got overboard but other than that it was a good story。

God， this book was not it。 It starts off characterizing the MC as a TOTAL nerd， and that's fine because that's exactly how I was in high school too。 What bothered me is that the story lacked any real conflict and I felt like I read a 10k fic on Tumblr instead of an actual published novel。 However， as a CS major myself， I appreciated the realistic depiction of coding instead of what some writers do， which is make up a bunch of weird technical terms for no reason instead of real research。 The firs God， this book was not it。 It starts off characterizing the MC as a TOTAL nerd， and that's fine because that's exactly how I was in high school too。 What bothered me is that the story lacked any real conflict and I felt like I read a 10k fic on Tumblr instead of an actual published novel。 However， as a CS major myself， I appreciated the realistic depiction of coding instead of what some writers do， which is make up a bunch of weird technical terms for no reason instead of real research。 The first love interest had no intriguing hook and the chemistry was lacking。 That even goes for the second love interest。 Overall， this book was not good but not bad enough to warrant a 1 star review。 。。。more

I am definitely on a cute YA romance kick and this totally fits that criteria。 I love Ashley and her nerdiness， even with the breakdown （it probably help tbh because who doesn’t love a sweet mess？）。 I also love her friends and how close they are。 I also love Jason because of his prankster way。 I can’t help but smile at his ‘brilliant ideas’。 I will also say that there was a trend in real-life where people would film pranks that were not… kind… （to put it nicely） so I was hesitant about him。 But I am definitely on a cute YA romance kick and this totally fits that criteria。 I love Ashley and her nerdiness， even with the breakdown （it probably help tbh because who doesn’t love a sweet mess？）。 I also love her friends and how close they are。 I also love Jason because of his prankster way。 I can’t help but smile at his ‘brilliant ideas’。 I will also say that there was a trend in real-life where people would film pranks that were not… kind… （to put it nicely） so I was hesitant about him。 But once I learned about some of his pranks （current and past）， my fears were squashed。 These are actually harmless， at least as harmless as minor class disruptions can be considered harmless （annoying for teachers， loved by students and passes after a few minutes）。 I greatly appreciated this depiction of mischief because that is not the current trend on social media platforms and taking this approach may shift the idea that funny = mean， because some of his ideas are really funny。Overall， I love this story。 The plot is strong and kept me engage throughout the story。 I always wanted to keep reading。 I can definitely see this being picked up by Netflix as a new The Kissing Booth or To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before obsession。 （Psst… Netflix… *gestures frantically*）The release date of this book was perfectly timed， and I highly recommend reading it during Spring break because it just fits so well。 That being said， if you can’t get to it right away it will also be a great summer read， or a “get warm in winter” read。 。。。more

2。5 stars。 This YA contemporary was a likable enough read， and I particularly liked the nods to New York， Taylor Swift and the fact that the main character is into coding。 But it’s ultimately one of those stories that will end up getting lost in the mix of others in the genre for me。
