Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - The Soulmate Equation

There's a part of me that's a huge skeptic in the science side of things for this - but the romantic in me absolutely loved it. Jess' struggles as a single mom were written with empathy and respect, and I think they did a great job with the details and nuances there. River and Jess have excellent chemistry, physically of course, but even more so as friends, or soulmates - they work to understand each other (aside from a like 2 chapter long 3rd act break up, which annoyed me so much given their greater context). I particularly appreciated River for his awareness of the rules around Juno, and how he handled himself in each step as Jess felt comfortable revealing their relationship.

Christina Lauren books are always well written, and The Soulmate Equation is no exception. It's not a life-changingly incredible novel (personally) but it is very good and I enjoyed my time with it 💖

Cute read, but definitely not a fave of mine. It was still good to read and I am glad I did ❤️

This book was fun, some of the science while technically correct was a little cheesy, but as a data scientist and stats nerd I felt very validated by some of Jess’ dialogue. Super fun to me as a data nerd to read her discussions of data and p values and significance etc. I love a good nerd romance, makes me feel seen. And enemies to lovers fake dating! What more could a girl want :) I wouldn’t say it was my favorite of the romances I have read recently, but I have read a lot so it would be hard to accomplish that. Overall a fun read, June is adorable, River is wonderful. I loved the epilogue, probably my favorite romance epilogue I have read recently.
