This was just okay. I would have liked more development of the relationship between River and Jess. They barely knew each other! It was very difficult for me to buy into them for that reason. And they had interesting insecurities that were underexplored in my opinion. Not my favorite Christina Lauren book, but still an escape.

I was underwhelmed especially after having just read Love and Other Words. It was a cute book overall, but the spice tried to be good but wasn’t descriptive enough to know what was going on sometimes. Also they fell in love so fast which was cute, but I also didn’t necessarily see how they got there.

So far this is my favorite of the three Christina Lauren books I've read; the concept was so interesting! I will say, at first it was hard to get past the slightly dystopian idea of DNA being able to tell you who you'd match with romantically/sexually, but as the book went on it felt less odd. While I loved the whole thing, the epilogue that's in the paperback version nearly brought me to tears, it was so lovely and sweet and adorable.

This book was fun, some of the science while technically correct was a little cheesy, but as a data scientist and stats nerd I felt very validated by some of Jess’ dialogue. Super fun to me as a data nerd to read her discussions of data and p values and significance etc. I love a good nerd romance, makes me feel seen. And enemies to lovers fake dating! What more could a girl want :) I wouldn’t say it was my favorite of the romances I have read recently, but I have read a lot so it would be hard to accomplish that. Overall a fun read, June is adorable, River is wonderful. I loved the epilogue, probably my favorite romance epilogue I have read recently.
