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.

2By adanc001Honestly this book was so hard to get through. I could not finish it. There’s cheesy, and then there’s this. It was really bad. The worst book I’ve read so far.Love this book!
5By CinS**I read this book in 2 days! Couldn’t put it down! Interesting concept, full of humor and love. This is the 2nd book I’ve read from these authors, can’t wait to read more from them ❤️Science+Romance=My Kind of Love Story
5By Dance Dance!I loved the story, the characters are precious, and the end pulled tears and sobs. I’ll read it again.So good!
5By HollyDeneaSuch a lovely story!!Creative
5By jenni578953One of the main characters is a scientist who has developed a way to determine comparability with genetic testing. Cool idea and adds a fun new element to a traditional remanded story.Not her best work
3By frankiepostachioI love the Beautiful Bastard series and this just does not live up. Add more spicy sex scenes, and less boring ones about her daughter.5 Stars
5By Brittany N BCouldn’t put it down! Sobbing at the end of the book. Might be favorite book of Christina & Lauren’s so far!Roller coaster!
5By Picky PriscillaWonderful give and take liberally sprinkled generously with humor and seasoned well with deep emotions. Excellent read!Ehh
2By AriberryMatIt had SOOOO much potential but it didn’t do it for me. I really dislike the narrating maybe if it was written from the characters point of view I might have liked this more. I’m not sure. I love the background of the story for sure but I just couldn’t get into it. Low key a little disappointing.LOVE
5By summacoleeThis quickly became my new obsession. At first I thought the story line seemed a bit different. However, you become immediately hooked on these two characters. LOVED IT!!Like
5By Horse Lover687532Really liked this for some reason!Heartfelt, with romance and humor
5By sun oltReally loved the characters in this story and a unique twist on the standard romance novel.I love this book!
5By dallaspooiyttretuiioppI wish there was a sequel!Just keeps getting better!
5By kbg_88Long time Christina Lauren reader and this one did not disappoint. A little less spicy that previous books but the tension and heart complete the book in a beautiful way! Highly recommend.I couldn’t finish…
2By Mih_HallIdk…I love CL books usually but I couldn’t even get through this. Jess just isn’t my kind of girl. River was hard to read but still intriguing but then Jess was so blah…made no effort, had a bland personality. Just not my vibe. Maybe I’ll try again later. Off to read some OG CL books!So sweet.
4By DrealkoyonaI think I may have a toothache .I’m too old for this…
2By 080525893279If you like perfect fairytales and believe in soulmates, this one is definitely for you. I prefer a little more strife in my reads.Sweet and steamy
4By luvtoread44I just reread this and for some reason I enjoyed it more the second time around. With a good mix of sweet and steamy, The Soulmate Equation explores what it means to love. Oh, and the epilogue is the best ever!A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
5By L.F.A ReviewIt was amazing and perfect. I loved the writing style, the characters, and the subtle disses at each other. 100 percent would recommend!
