This was so nerdy and fun and cute. Rivers is my type of human and he found his other half in Jess and it was so sweet. What would you do if you could genetically calculate the likelihood of your romantic match with another? I mean would you get swept up in the numbers or would you just allow yourself to meet new humans and explore ?
This was such a unique concept of rom com and the also really beautiful with addition of Juno. The epilogue DESTROYED me and I choked up a bit. It was just so sweet and tender and awe.
I think we could’ve either expanded more on her mom situation or we could’ve done without the inclusion of her character at all and just hinted at the relational strain / trauma to add dynamics to Jess’s character there. I think those bits often took me out of the story rather than moved it along or made me understand Jess fuller. But other than that, a great read and a lovely book.
