Loved this one from Christina Lauren! The concept of a dating app that can match you with your potential soulmate through DNA analysis made for some really great moments in this story. Aside from a bit of a slow start, I couldn't put it down once I got into it.

Jessica Davis, a single mom and statistician who is feeling down on her life, submits a DNA sample to an up and coming dating app at the urging of her best friend, Fizzy. Unsure if she is even looking for a serious relationship, Jess forgets all about the app until she is contacted by its creators and asked to come into their offices. What Jess least expects is to meet her genetic soulmate, the app's founder, Dr. River Pena, with whom she is 98% compatible, the highest compatibility score the app has seen so far. Dr. Pena just so happens to also be the broody, stuck up coffee shop guy she and Fizzy ogle every morning. What ensues after is a little bit of fake dating, a little bit of enemies-to-lovers, and a lot of fun shenanigans as Jess and River explore what it means to be actual soulmates.

This overall was a really enjoyable read. The chemistry between Jess and River is chef's kiss and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments.
