About this listen
Swipe right for love. Swipe left for disaster.
By day, Mel Strickland is an underemployed help-desk tech at a start-up incubator, Hatch, where she helps entitled brogrammers - "Hatchlings" - who can't even fix their own laptops but are apparently the next wave of start-up geniuses. 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 harassers 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.
Kristin Rockaway†is a native New Yorker and recovering corporate software engineer. After working in the IT industry for far too many years, she finally traded the city for the surf and chased her dreams out to Southern California, where she spends her days happily writing stories instead of code. When she's not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and son and planning her next big vacation.

When Susie Bowen inherits a charming fixer-upper from her aunt, she’s excited to start living her best HGTV life. But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex’s best friend, Lars—the same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago—she isn’t exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy. But beggars can't be choosers, and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to embracing singledom.

Noah and Mia have always been best friends, and their friendship is the most important thing to them. Life is going great for Noah and he’s up for a promotion in a job he loves. But Mia’s life is on hold as she awaits a kidney transplant. She’s stuck in a dead-end job and, never wanting to be a burden, has sworn off all romance. So when the chance of a lifetime comes to go back to school and pursue her dream, it’s especially painful to pass up. She can’t quit her job or she’ll lose the medical insurance she so desperately needs.

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

And when Hannah wishes him luck after clearing up the confusion, she never actually expects to hear from him again. Then she gets a text saying he got the job and he’ll be moving to London, and she can’t help but smile.

Hooked into the story and couldn’t stop listening!
An avid fan of audio books, I’ve noticed that not every piece of creative fiction is well represented in audio book form, particularly this genre of character driven story....this is very well narrated and the carefully crafted and the talented pros the author constructed come through! Great book! So fun! She really created and entire world and feels so very relatable.

How to Hack a Heartbreak
How to Hack a Heartbreak written by Kristen Rockaway. I enjoyed this story with all of the cringy office behavior and proof of how easy it is to get things wrong. The female empowerment is strong and proud with this one, as it should be! Loved it and enjoyed the narration!

SO relatable for me!
Kristin Rockaway basically took a page from my life and wrote about it. I as a female have worked in male dominated environments all my life. Even to this day I'm in IT - so the feelings of being made less than by male colleagues (whether they know it or not)) hits VERY close to home. I can totally relate to times in my past where a task or an interesting job was given to a male co-worker because the dinosaurs called my boss thought the females weren't as intelligent as the men, and the men could react or think faster on their feet than the women....Yup, this book sucked me right in and I empathized with the main character from the beginning.
That's where the similarities end. For such an intelligent character, our heroine should have done more research when and documented more in order to cover her butt and not leave herself as vulnerable as she did.
I liked this story, I found it relatable but I found the story line ended too quickly for me. It's like the epilogue says -this happened, that happened - the end! It's almost like there was a rush to give every character a HEA - when I felt it could have melded / blended better.

Glitchy Audiobook
The story was relatable and from the parts of the audiobook that did not glitch was a very well written story. I’m not sure if I just was not in the mood for this kind of story I’m not sure but I never got fully into the story there were moments where I spaced out and forgot I was listening which is partly why I’m giving it 3 stars not sure if it was the story or the performance or my mood but I know the glitching with the book in the second half got a bit frustrating since it skipped over portions. I hope the author realizes or audible realizes that there is something going on.
It’s a quirky book and I feel like it could be pretty realistic to what the tech industry is like. I could relate to it in that aspect since I work in a male dominated field as well.

This kind of story does nothing for women in tech
As a female web dev, I was super excited to read this story and was hopeful as the writer was formerly in tech herself. However, as the storyline continued, it just kept getting more and more stereotypical. The female lead vacillated between wanting to appear confident and never directly addressing the problem with the person she actually should have been talking to in the first place. Her work environment was the kind of brogrammer club that is incredibly outdated in the industry. Instead of advocating for herself and getting the hell out of a job that was making her miserable, she just stayed there. All around, the lead’s behavior was way too unrealistic for me to believe. I wanted to throw my phone across the room a few times because she just wouldn’t get out of her own way and address anything in her life directly. Her biggest problem in her life wasn’t her job, her lack of love life, or the dick pics she was consistently getting, but herself, and she never once addressed that. I couldn’t finish this one, and I was so hoping it would be a positive book about women in the tech industry doing good things in a male dominated field.
