Everything about this felt specifically designed for me! Opposites attract à la artist, fate-believing fmc and a scientist, anti-fate mmc. Rooney and Jack fall for each other in a completely ridiculous, chance encounter filled night. It's the kind of insta-love that makes me believe it's really possible. 

Fate is the (red) string that ties the whole thing together. Rooney and Jack are opposites, but LKJ utilizes that fact to force Rooney and Jack to communicate! It's just delightful! Also, can we talk about how perfectly the slowburn was done in RST because I was giggling, kicking my feet at the smallest interactions. 

A phenomenal follow up to Lunar Love! Perfect for anyone looking for a low/no heat romance with great Asian American representation and discussions on fate.
