Mini Review:
My only problem with this series are the books are so short. They always have me aching for me. Sadie Hayes has taken something, I have read and really,really, enjoyed. I would say loved but I have to wait til SPRING for it.
Review itself:
Beautiful Code,3rd book in the The Start-Up by Sadie Hayes, was as always great. I just have a few personal opinions. I think,personally, that Amelia and TJ should be a couple. I see very little Romance on Ameli...more

Beautiful Code is the third book in The Start-Up series and I was really looking forward to reading this one as the ending of the second book was such a cliff hanger that I just had to have more.
Beautiful Code is just as good if not better than the first two books in the series. There’s all the scandals going on and it’s written so that you can’t help but hang on to every word and keep reading because there was so much going on.

Originality: The Beautiful Code is original in my opinion. I love that the author, Sadie Hayes, is well researched on the topics discussed in her books. She really seems to know what she is talking about, and it shows.
Characters: Hehe I love how smart the characters are. They mostly all go to Stanford University, aka school for smart kids. And that’s another thing I love about Sadie Hayes’ stories. The characters are in college. That’s so refreshing since many young adult books are about charac...more

Third in Sadie Hayes’ The Start-Up serial novel, Beautiful Code moves the scene to beautiful Hawaii where Adam and Amelia are all set to impress the world’s press with Amelia’s wonderful invention. Things start to go wrong when awkward questions are asked, and secrets might be aired that the twins would rather keep quiet. Meanwhile love’s path is as complex and tortuous as the solution to simultaneous multi-variate equations. As with the earlier episodes, one full story runs its course in this e...more

The Beautiful Code was cool, as with the other two, the story goes by very quickly. The characters are quirky and fun, and i love them all for different reasons. I like where the story's going, and its more suspenseful then one would expect. I haven't read many books about businesses, but these novels are really fun. I wish I was as crazy talented as Amelia is!

Another fantastic read in the Start-Up series. I'm really loving these episodes. Seriously.
The characters are great. I feel like I know them. They're very well described. That doesn't mean I don't get irritated with them. Seriously, Lisa needs to freaking choose who shes going to be with already. I don't like seeing Adam get hurt. And then there's Amelia. I don't get irritated with her, but I just want to find out who she forms a relationship with. Will it be Sundeep? Will it be T.J.? I don't kn...more

This third installment of The Start-Up series was just as good as the first two. I was drawn into the plot immediately and was interested to follow both the technological developments and the personal developments. I think the part of the plot that intrigued me the most was the relationship between Patty and Chad. Because of what went on between the two of them in the last novella, I was interested to see how their relationship would progress in this one. It was definitely exciting!

I wanted to love this. Heck, I really wanted to enjoy it. A girl who codes! Her brother, who wasn't quite as smart, but helped her out. The story itself was disjointed (a marriage, a convention that didn't quite go as planned, repeatedly talking about the girl coder's hacker (criminal) past. The conversations were pure drivel. And then it just ends. No wrap up. I know it was part of a series, but normally you can get what is going on even though you start in the middle. Not so with this series....more
My rating: 4/5 stars

May contain some spoilers
So, as we all remember there was some huge cliffhanger in the end of the second book, right? So of course we expect for Amelia to do the right thing and blow the whole thing up? Wrong! I was really surprised to see that even after two months, Amelia hadn't told Adam the truth and is actually sneaking behind his back. I'm also so sneaky that I won't tell what this huge secret is, you just have to read the book ;)

I just read the newest Episode #3: Beautiful Code and I have to say it might just be my favorite. The gang heads to Hawaii to introduce Doreye and Amelia's cutting edge technology at the Maui Waves of Disruption tech showcase. This feels like a game changing episode, particularly with Adam. He often goes unnoticed and under appreciated but may have more of a nose for business than every one thinks. That might not be a good thing.

I am really liking these books. At the end of the second book, I just had to continue and start the next one right away. They read so quickly that in an hour or so, you're done with one. I am looking forward to the next one which will come out in a couple of months. I am really rooting for their start-up to be a success :-)
It was good. Left you waiting for the next one to come out. My friend told me about these books. I am enjoying a nice light read. Like I said with the second book I read it in under 2 hours.
I want more and I want it now. I need to see how things are going to end up. I hate the wait. This just keeps getting better and better.
See my review for "the Start-Up" book 1.
This is a wonderful series and am looking forward to the next book
These books are way too short!! I need more ASAP!!
Review coming soon
I liked how the third book just jumped right into the story. I still find the books are a bit short. The eBook is annoying in the fact that book 2 & 3 have a " in place of the letters ff and that where there should be the letters th there is only a space. It is rather annoying when reading. The third book was good enough to make me want to read the fourth one when it comes out.
