INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Writing duo and reigning romance queens Christina Lauren are back with...their most ambitious book to date.” —PopSugar

Chosen as a best pick by Bustle, Marie Claire, Entertainment Weekly, E! Online, PopSugar, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Country Living, The Pioneer Woman, Woman’s World, Bookish, Bookreporter, Frolic, and more!

The New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words return with a witty and effervescent novel about what happens when two people with everything on the line are thrown together by science—or is it fate? Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez.

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.

“Laugh-out-loud, sweet, charming, and humorous” (Library Journal, starred review), The Soulmate Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and choice can never be calculated. Literature & Fiction Romance Romantic Comedy Women's Fiction Dating Comedy Witty Feel-Good

What the critics say

"With a lively style, narrator Patti Murin entertains the listener. She differentiates between the characters and captures their personalities through her use of tone, rather than giving each a distinguishable timbre. Listeners will be amused by Murin's portrayals of several secondary characters, notably Jess's young daughter and the romance author who is Jess's best friend. A lighthearted production with a narration that is sure to charm."

I enjoyed this book so much. Loved the story, the voices, everything. I laughed out loud and couldn’t stop listening. An excellent romantic comedy.

Absolutely Loved It

I loved the story, and tbh the narrator isn’t bad per se, but my main issue is that I could barely differentiate between when Jess was talking and when it was her inner monologue. Also, all the female characters literally sounded the same. Even Juno only had the sliiiightest difference in tone from Jess. It made it difficult to keep track of what exactly was going on and pulled me out of the story.

Great Book, Subpar Narrator

This is my favourite Christina Lauren book. I've read it a few times and love listening to the audiobook. Patti Murrin has the perfect voice and sounds just as I imagined Jess would sound like.

The ebook version I have doesn't include the epilogue so I was pleasantly surprised to have it included here.

The narration is stellar and character development palpable. I enjoyed it overall. Sexy, with appropriately slow-developing physicality in a modern romance.

Intriguing concept, semi-believable denouement

I read book 2 first bc I didn’t know this one existed, but I was so happy to find it. It’s so beautifully written and you can’t help but fall in love w all the characters- especially Juno!

Love this book!
