Reviews with content warning for Addiction - The Soulmate Equation

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>

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 was just kinda meh for me. It could've been that it was an audio book but I just didn't see their relationship as being in love. Maybe infatuation. I was so infuriated with the mmc at one point I almost DNF'd.
So yeah it was okay.

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.
