YA
Hacker Audrey discovers a secret in the buyPhone, enabling her to create an app that emits a frequency stimulating desire. Mayhem ensues at school as her Boyfriend App gains popularity. But soon the attention becomes unwanted when Public, the corporation behind buyPhone, realizes what Audrey has done. The interesting (if unbelievable) concept suffers from the book's plot holes.
