The Soulmate Equation

Statistician and single mom Jess can't help it if her eyes wander to the handsome but grumpy businessman she sees every morning at 8:24 a.m. at the coffee shop where she meets her best friend before work. Aside from his looks, there's nothing about him she finds attractive. When she learns his company is building a matchmaking service based on genetics, she's not interested. But her BFF convinces her to give it a try. After all, Jess hasn't had a serious boyfriend since her daughter's father informed her he had no desire to be a dad and signed away his parental rights. To Jess's shock, after she does the cheek swab thing, it turns out she's a match with coffee shop guy. (River. His name is River. How could such a buttoned-down guy have such a cool name?) In fact. not only are they a match—they've got the highest compatibility score of any couple in the company's history. Reluctant at first, she finally agrees to date him when the company offers to compensate her for her time. If the relationship works out, after all, it will be a huge publicity boost for the company before their stock goes public. Could this man she seems to have nothing in common with really be her soulmate? I LOVED this book. It started off slow for me—I'm not a big fan of bad date stories or best friends talking about how the other's reproductive organs are going to dry up if they don't let loose and have fun once in a while. But when Jess and River actually started talking to each other, the story picked up quickly. Their chemistry is off the charts, and River's interactions with Jess's daughter will hit you right in the ovaries. So freakin' cute. The tone of this book falls about halfway between THE UNHONEYMOONERS and TWICE IN A BLUE MOON. It's not laugh-out-loud funny, but it won't make you bawl your eyes out, either. It's light and fun, witty and charming, yet still deeply emotional. So, so good. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I had fun reading The Soulmate Equation. I loved Jess and River with a little bit of push and pull. This story line is different to what I am use to reading and I could not get over it. I was engrossed in this story that I may have stayed in PJs all weekend to finish this book. Jess and River have an interesting start. I love the whole DNA match concept. This story had me laugh, made me wonder if Jess will find love, and then at the end I was a smiling book nerd. The Soulmate Equation is a new read that I definitely recommend!

Loved this book, my favorite book so far written by these two authors. Fell hard for these characters Fizzy, Juno, Jess and River and their quirks, love, friendship and romance make this one of my top reads this year. Grab this for your TBR list.
