Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world. After all, her father was never around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before her daughter was even born. Jess holds her loved ones close but working constantly to stay afloat is hard...and lonely.
But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands.
At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98 percent compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly’s founder, Dr. River Peña. This is one number she can’t wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. Peña. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get ‘to know him and we’ll pay you. Jess—who is barely making ends meet—is in no position to turn it down, despite her skepticism about the project and her dislike for River. As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the “Diamond” pairing that could launch GeneticAlly’s valuation sky-high, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist—and the science behind a soulmate—than she thought.
Liezel’s Thoughts:
Have you ever read a book where you literally finished it and are compelled to read some of the chapters over and over again? The Soulmate Equation was that book for me! Stupidly addicting!
What I loved most about this book was how the authors proved me wrong. When Jess and River first meet – I thought there was no way this couple would work out. There was no spark, no chemistry, no anything to speak of. As the story progressed, however, they demonstrated the complete opposite. Even science proved it!
If you are looking for a light read about finding that perfect someone or perhaps a heartwarming love story that will leave you feeling all gooey inside. Read this book! I guarantee you will be left wanting more!
