A sweet rom-com with a single mother statistician and a geneticist who starts a DNA-based dating app have a romance that starts with antagonism and sorta fake dating. The humor hit for me. I love the side characters that surround the FMC, and now I need to read Fizzy’s book. The third act conflict/resolution happened so fast, but I forgive it because the epilogue was so cute.

I was very surprised by how much I loved this book. The only other book I've read by the authors was The Unhoneymooners and although I liked it, I didn't love it so I expected something similar with The Soulmate Equation and boy was I wrong.

The book itself is super cute, and about 3 introductionary chapters in the story takes off. There is strong character development, plus the characters are both funny and loveable. I don't enjoy books with kids in them but Juno (Jess's kid) is so cute and funny too, she fit the story perfectly. The writing was enjoyable too so it was a quick read.  

It took me a second to finish the book because by the end of it, i found myself savouring the chapters. 

</My only criticism is that the authors get the main characters to forgive the love interest a little too quickly but maybe that's me being petty because in this book, the quick make up made sense>
