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>

A dating site that uses dna and it’s markers to give you matches with diamond matches being 90% and above on a perfect match.
Somewhat enemies to lovers.
Somewhat moody sunshine
Definitely doubtful to head over heels energy and I loved it.
It had drama of its own throughout. It had some spice for those who like that. But it also incorporated several passionate family dynamics and that was honestly really heartwarming.

As January is often a month of wallowing and burdened reflection for me, I found that I read “The Soulmate Equation” at the perfect time. It brought out a little more of the optimist in me and lightened my mood considerably because it was just so sweet and fun to read!
The premise of this story was so innovative and intriguing, even from someone who doesn’t have a scientific background whatsoever. It was so interesting—two unlikely candidates genetically matched through a dating app!! It reminded me of my favorite episode of Black Mirror, “Hang the DJ”, and the probability of supposed perfect matches, natural attraction, and true love. It was really cool how the plot balanced all this statistical genetic data with the romance. It all worked really well together and kept me wanting to know more.
I loved the family relationships in this one, especially between the MC, Jess, and her daughter, Juno. Really, all of the main characters had my heart. Obviously Jess and the delectable MMC, River Peña (HOT NAME LIVES UP TO THE HYPE) were SO CUTE together. I identified with both of them and appreciated that the tension between them in the third act felt justified and true to their natures.
I JUST REALLY ADORED THIS ONE. (I only took off .25 of a point because I felt the ending was a tad abrupt but anyway) It was like “Be Sweet” by Japanese Breakfast in book form. You gotta love it.
