About this title

Synopsis

Danny and Eve have everything going for their relationship—they love each other! Or do they? According to AI, their relationship is not scoring high enough.

Eve is a singer-songwriter, struggling with writer’s block. Danny has developed a relationship app with a chatbot called Bug. The app catches fire and soon users everywhere begin outsourcing not only compatibility but major life decisions to Danny’s algorithms. But what happens to Danny and Eve’s romance—and their work, friendships and family ties—when they start testing the app out on themselves? When their world is rocked by a shocking betrayal, Eve and Danny must confront the consequences of the app—and reckon with what it means to fall and stay in love in the digital age. A smart, timely, heartwarming, funny novel with characters we care about, who are authentic, messy and modern, navigating the world of their own feelings and the brave new dating world. Will Danny and Eve get back to the feeling and fun of love, despite what the algorithms say? Laura Brooke Robson has written a novel that is witty and warm, filled with humour and heart. Love Is an Algorithm is a captivating portrait of love in our times.
