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 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.
I felt that this book I got to know all the characters More...

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 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!


The only thing i didn't like is that often in the book, something suspenseful would happen, then it would go to a new chap More...

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. 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 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.
Once again - another killer cliffhanger but since the wait be More...
