I love a good dislike-to-love story, and he’s all tall, shy, and considerate, with flirty eyebrows and nerdy hotness. In fact, Fizzy needs her own book pronto!Īnd can we just pause to appreciate River for a moment? Talk about dreamy. Jess’ grandparents, Juno, Fizzy, River’s sisters…they all added up to make this a book I wanted to hug at the end. The main and supporting characters were all amazing. Having said that, I ended up loving this book SO much. Secondly, this book is pretty nerdy, with lots of statistics and science-which I love, but there was a fair bit to wade through before things really got going. For starters, it’s super weird to read about a character with your same name who lives right where you used to live in San Diego. I’ll admit this one took me a little while to get into. She’s super reluctant to believe it, but they offer to pay her to spend time with him, to build a marketing campaign around the match, and see if they really are compatible. That’s not all, she’s their highest match ever at 98% and she matched with none other than surly, hot coffee shop guy. It all seems pretty strange, and when she arrives she is told (in front of a meeting room full of people) that she has been matched. She forgets all about it until she gets a call from the company, GeneticAlly, asking her to meet with them. When it turns out that the hot guy that always comes into their local coffee shop works at a high-tech company that claims to be able to find your soulmate based on your DNA, Fizzy (Jess’ best friend) drags her along to their offices to check it out, and she’s roped into signing up. She definitely doesn’t have time in her schedule for romance. Jess is a single mom and freelance statistician living in San Diego, next door to her grandparents who mostly raised her.
