"The sparkling and heartfelt romantic comedy debut from Lily Menon, Make Up Break Up.... Love, romance, second chances, fairy-tale endings...these are the things Annika Dev believes in. Her app, Make Up, has been called the "Google Translate for failing relationships." High efficiency break-ups, flashy start-ups, penthouses, fast cars...these are the things Hudson Craft believes in. His app, Break Up, is known as the "Uber for break-ups." It's wildly successful-and anathema to Annika's life philosophy. Which wouldn't be a problem if they'd gone their separate ways after that summer fling in Las Vegas, never to see each other again. Unfortunately for Annika, Hudson's moving not just into her office building, but into the office right next to hers. And he'll be competing at the prestigious EPIC investment pitch contest: A contest Annika needs to win if she wants to keep Make Up afloat. As if it's not bad enough seeing his irritatingly perfect face on magazine covers when her own business is failing. As if knowing he stole her idea and twisted it into something vile-and monumentally more successful-didn't already make her stomach churn. As the two rival app developers clash again and again-and again-Annika finds herself drawn into Hudson Craft's fast-paced, high velocity, utterly shallow world. Only, from up close, he doesn't seem all that shallow. Could it be that everything she thought about Hudson is completely wrong? Could the creator of Break Up teach her what true love's really about?"-- Provided by publisher.

Battling Apps submitted by pamhockey25 on June 22, 2021, 11:58pm Make Up is an app designed to bring couples together. Break Up is an app designed to break up with someone without the messy problem of doing it in person. The developers of these two apps had a week-long relationship that ended when the Make Up creator (Annika) left the Break Up creator (Hudson). Make Up is struggling financially and still in development. Break Up is a rousing success that's put Hudson in the news. Eventually Make Up and Break Up go against each other in a Pitch Contest. Annika has to win or lose everything.
