[arc review]
i am a huge believer in fate and absolutely believe that the universe throws things at me for a reason. do i ever find out the reason? not always. but do i trust the process anyway? absolutely.
i’ve heard of the red string of fate, but i’ve never dug too deep into it so picking up red string theory felt like a no brainer. jack and rooney are complete opposites. jack believes in science and facts and things he can see with his own eyes, but rooney believes in fate and things that are left to interpretation most of the time. they have this constant battle of beliefs but they eventually settle for something in between.
maybe it’s because i’m going through it in my own life but seeing jack and rooney have this constant pull toward each other had me screaming at jack to give it a chance. it’s not everyday that you see these types of coincidences, and to not act on them when it’s the universe trying to tell you something? come on. you HAVE to. i know i would.

This was such a cute romance with no spice. I really loved how it focused on the two main characters’ initial connection and then their friendship more than anything else. Without that, I don’t know if the Red String Theory would’ve been felt as much throughout the book. Lauren Kung Jessen’s writing is also easily digestible while making her characters and their lives feel tangible.
After loving Lunar Love, I was so excited to listen to Red String Theory. Rooney and Jack complimented each other so well and their conversations were full of philosophical banter.
I think that Lauren’s ability to pair great chemistry with deep ideas and add in ice cream science just for whimsy is what makes her such a great writer. This book was full of hope and love but also made me think a lot.
Andrew Grace and Yu-Li Alice Shen did such an amazing job with the narration! I was swept up by the story and they absolutely brought it to life.
Thank you to Forever for the ALC. All thoughts are my own.
