The Soulmate Equation
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Writing duo and reigning romance queens Christina Lauren are back with The Soulmate Equation, their most ambitious book to date." --PopSugar "A sexy, science-filled, and surprising romance full of warmth and wit." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Chosen as a best pick by Bustle, Marie Claire, Entertainment Weekly, E! Online, PopSugar, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Country Living, The Pioneer Woman, Woman's World, Bookish, Bookreporter, Frolic, and more! The New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners returns with a witty and effervescent novel about what happens when two people with everything on the line are thrown together by science--or is it fate? Perfect for fans of The Rosie Project and One Plus One. Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world. After all, her father was never around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn't "father material" before her daughter was even born. Jess holds her loved ones close but working constantly to stay afloat is hard...and lonely. But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that's predicted to change dating forever. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands. At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98 percent compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly's founder, Dr. River Peña. This is one number she can't wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. Peña. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get 'to know him and we'll pay you. Jess--who is barely making ends meet--is in no position to turn it down, despite her skepticism about the project and her dislike for River. As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the "Diamond" pairing that could launch GeneticAlly's valuation sky-high, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist--and the science behind a soulmate--than she thought. "Laugh-out-loud, sweet, charming, and humorous" (Library Journal, starred review), The Soulmate Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and choice can never be calculated.

THE EXCLUSIVE EPILOGUE WAS EVERYTHING!
Loved this novel, it was really cute. Big plot twist. Little to no spice. Writing was amazing. Cute moments were everywhere which I love. It was really good, not a 5-star, but still a pretty decent and enjoyable read. I do recommend.
I loved this book and I really loved the concept of finding your soulmate based on your DNA similarities with that person. What a neat thing to think about. I liked all the characters and they seemed to all mesh well with each other, except for Jamie, Jessica’s mother. Jess kind of hated River in the beginning because he was so smug and arrogant but they quickly turned those feeling into lust which i thought might have been a bit quick in my opinion. Of course a scandal is found out in River’s company and Jess and River are left wondering if they are truly meant to be or if it was all a scam. Loving Christina Lauren’s writing, this was the second one of hers I’ve read and loved!
