I found the second half of this book disturbing and uncomfortable. None of the boys mind being forced to feel deep emotions for a girl, in fact some of the couples end up dating post-app! How romantic!
Consent, anyone? This isn't even presented as a problem in the book.
Any boy who gets "apped" immediately begins kissing intensely the girl who he was making eye contact with. The main character makes an app which makes the person you point your phone at fall deeply and quickly in love with you. My biggest problem, however, is that this book is.rapey. There are a few instances where timing and descriptions don't really make sense which makes me think that this book could use another run through with an editor. The book overall was pretty good if you don't mind fluff pierced with descriptions of coding and hacking (which I usually don't). I'm not sure what I was expecting when reading the description of this book, but it certainly wasn't what I got. Suddenly the Boyfriend App lands Audrey where she never expected to be: in the middle of the limelight, passionately kissed by the hottest guys in school, causing complete and utter mayhem. And she does-right into a scandal that would rock Public to its core. To beat out the competition, Audrey will have to dig deeper. With a simple touch of the screen, romance blooms among the unlikeliest couples in high school, and people start to take notice. She comes up with an idea so simple, yet so brilliant, she can't believe it hasn't been done: the Boyfriend App. So when Public Corporation, a giant tech company, announces a contest for the best app developed by a high schooler-with $200,000 in prize money-Audrey is spurred to action. Audrey is counting the minutes until high school is over and she can get the hell out of Dodge and go to college-that is, if she can find a scholarship. And her ex-best friend, gorgeous queen bee Blake Dawkins, has turned into her worst nightmare. Once popular and fearless, she hasn't been the same since her dad died.
