When she and George, her Coding Club copresident, are tasked with brainstorming a new project, <em>The Code for Love<\/em> is born--a matchmaking app that goes far beyond swiping, using algorithms to calculate compatibility.

There she meets Emma . . . who might unwittingly upend her whole theory on life.<br \/>\nThis is a laugh-out-loud exploration of sexuality, family, female friendship, grief, and community. With the heart and hilarity of Netflix's critically-acclaimed Sex Education, Wibke Brueggemann's sex positive debut is required reading for Generation Z teens. Think of this as Bridget Jones' Diary, if it were written by Bridget's daughter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2020-02-11T05:00:34+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is LOVE FREEBIE!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSometimes I love freebie weeks, and other times I end up \",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Kait Plus Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\\\/books\\\/top-ten-tuesday-february-11-2020\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Love Is for Losers\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Wibke Brueggeman\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Kaity\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\\\/books\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": false,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Hearts-Banner.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Hearts-Banner.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Hearts-Banner-300x34.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Hearts-Banner-768x86.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/love-that-split-the-world-cover.png\" alt=\"Top Ten Tuesday | February 11, 2020\" title=\"Top Ten Tuesday | February 11, 2020\" class=\"ubb-cover-image alignleft\"><strong>The Love That Split the World<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/authors\/emily-henry\/\">Emily Henry<\/a> <br><strong>Published on<\/strong>  January 26, 2016 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/publishers\/razorbill-penguin-random-house\/\">Razorbill<\/a> <br><strong>Genres:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/contemporary\/\">Contemporary<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/romance\/\">Romance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/ya\/\">YA<\/a> <br><strong>Pages:<\/strong> 390 <br><strong>Add to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/25489567-the-love-that-split-the-world\" target=\"_blank\">Goodreads<\/a> <br><blockquote class=\"ubb-synopsis\"><p>Natalie\u2019s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start\u2026until she starts seeing the \u201cwrong things.\u201d At first, they\u2019re just momentary glimpses\u2014her front door is red instead of its usual green, there\u2019s a pre-school where the garden store should be.
