This was a spectacularly written opposites attract love story. I loved the juxtaposition of faith versus choice when it came onto Rooney and Jack, because in  the beginning they defended their own stance but they both saw the value in the other person’s belief at the end of the novel. The pacing was great and I found myself kicking my feet like a schoolgirl and giggling whenever something romantic happened between them. 

All the supporting characters were likeable and they were so funny which helped with the overall story. Also getting to learn a little bit more about Chinese culture was so fun and I can tell that Lauren did her research when it came onto the NASA and space facts and those kept the novel interesting without being boring. It’s really just a feel good romance that I think anybody would enjoy.

It had so much potential but it dragged so much. I dunno. It took me way too long to finish 

Very cute and sweet book on fate and soulmates.

This is the second Lauren Kung Jessen I have read and I have been meh about both. This one was so bland and boring to me that I DNFed it at 67% because I just couldn't push through it anymore. I wanted to really like this because the synopsis sounded so good!

I think part of my issue was the fact that the main characters were reduced to one personality trait and didn't have any actual spark. The FMC's whole thing was her birth video and being RSG. The MMC's thing was working at Nasa/Mars.

The whole thing just didn't work for me.

Thank you Netgalley for the audio ARC of Red String Theory.
