Description:
In The E.M.M.A. Effect, Harriet Smythe is a brilliant computer scientist whose elite AI program—E.M.M.A.—is built to optimize athletic performance. When funding gets tight, Harriet needs a star test subject fast, and the perfect candidate is Gale Knight: an NHL forward who also happens to be her best friend’s totally off-limits younger brother. As Harriet runs controlled “training sessions” and Gale follows her lead with way too much ease, E.M.M.A. throws a curveball: it decides Gale’s peak performance requires finding his perfect match… and its top result is Harriet. With deadlines looming and chemistry spiraling, Harriet has to choose between staying “professional” and trusting that maybe the data is right about what she really wants.
Trope/Mood:
