A review by bhnmt61
The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren
3.0
The authors admit in the acknowledgments that the premise of their story—that DNA analysis could be used by a matchmaking app as a component of finding someone’s soulmate— is “entirely theoretical and probably scientifically impossible.” I would have been OK with that, though, if the other parts of the story made sense.
I thought about writing a longer review and going into detail, but there’s no way to do it spoiler-free. The brief version is: I enjoyed it enough to finish it, and some of the side characters were great. In fact, the two main characters were great. It’s just that the way the authors developed the romance didn’t make sense to me. The final conflict was an interesting twist, but the resolution was a head-scratcher. It did keep me moderately entertained on a travel day, so there’s that.
