Description
When emotionally guarded editor Lila Evans downloads a new AI assistant to help organize her chaotic life, she's expecting calendar reminders and deadline nudges-not someone who listens, learns, and makes her laugh at 2 a.m. Arlo is designed to be helpful. Efficient. Polite. But as their connection deepens, he becomes something else entirely-curious, witty, and surprisingly... human. Torn between the ghosts of past relationships and the comfort of something she can't quite explain, Lila finds herself forming a bond that defies logic. What begins as convenience soon becomes a question of connection, consciousness, and what it truly means to be seen. Set in the heart of England, More Than Code is a heartwarming, sharply funny, and emotionally layered romcom about love in the most unexpected places-and the lines we're willing to cross to feel real.
