Jess, too, inspected him top to bottom. More like a socially constipated medieval art professor. She tried to remember when he’d started coming in here. Maybe two years ago? Almost every day, same time every morning, same drink, same sullen silence. This was a quirky neighborhood, and Twiggs was its heart. People came in to linger, to sip, to chat; Americano stood out not for being different or eccentric but for being almost entirely silent in a space full of boisterous, lovable weirdos. Nice clothes, but inside them he’s all grouchy, Jess mumbled. I'd suspect most people comment on your eyes,' he said quietly, running a fingertip across her collarbone. 'That startling, bright blue.'

Fizzy nodded, mumbling aloud as she typed: ‘She glanced away from his penetrating gaze, defeat coloring her features a milky gray.’ Jess as a single mum felt disingenuous and like a poor attempt at providing depth to this character. Actually, everything about the MC is SUPER mellow dramatic and hard to swallow. She makes terribly poor decisions, yet we are told she is some sort of statistical genius. Very frustrating to read about characters like this and makes it difficult to root or connect with them. Okay.” Her friend returned with her drink and a huge blueberry muffin, and took a moment to get situated. “Where was I?”

Can you find your soulmate via DNA test? This book is not John Marrs’ One. The subject may be similar but this is truly entertaining, heartwarming and lately the best romcom my favorite duo has written. ( at some parts I loved it more than In A Holidaze because entire characters are adorable and I have to admit we don’t have Fizzy at In a Holidaze, actually all we need more Fizzys in our lives. What a sassy, naughty, funny, loyal, smart, vivid best friend she is! ) 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. The side gate opened with a tiny squeak, then latched closed behind her. Down a narrow path, Jess stepped into the courtyard that separated her apartment from Nana Jo and Pops’s bungalow. The space looked like a lush garden somewhere in Bali or Indonesia. A handful of stone fountains gurgled quietly, and the primary sensation was bright: magenta, coral, and brassy-purple bougainvillea dominated the walls and fences. God, I know,” Jess agreed with a groan. “I’m talking to myself in a bathroom. Tells you exactly how my night is going.” Here’s the thing: when you start reading it, or when you read the premise, you think, “oh, I know exactly how this is going to go and what’s going to happen.” If you haven’t read it yet, the premise is this:

Resisting the urge to cover her own less-than-impressive assets, Jess offered a small, embarrassed wave. Sorry. I was just thinking that your kitten probably isn’t covered in glitter, too. You have such a crush on Americano,” Fizzy said. “Do you realize you watch him whenever he comes in here?” On a particularly low moment, Jess bites the bullet and sends her genetic material to River’s company, just to see if something will pop up. What she didn’t expect was that she would get the highest compatibility score the company has ever seen (98%!) with the inventor of the damn thing himself, River. Juno went quiet behind her, and understanding dropped like a weight in Jess’s chest. She turned to find her kid wearing the enormous-eyed expression of preemptive begging. “Juno, baby, no.” Juno: 7 years old daughter of Jess is extremely sweet and I loved her quirky mind! She and best friend Fizzy were scene stealers! At some parts they truly stole the book!Fizzy let her eyes drop to his ass, currently hidden by a navy coat. We’re calling it his ‘demeanor’ now? She bent, writing something in the Idea Notebook she kept near her laptop. Up front, Americano paid for his drink and then stepped to the side, absorbed in typing something on his phone. What is his deal? Jess asked quietly. Also I'm still swooning because of all the nerdy vibes and her daughter and grandpa charmed the pants off me - they were PRECIOUS!!!! But the words Do more things that scare me seemed to flash neon on her lids whenever she closed her eyes between data sets. It’s not just the one bad date, Jess said. "It’s the exhausting and alien process of trying to be appealing to men. I’m a freelance statitician and consider my sexiest outfit to be my old Buffy shirt and a pair of cutoffs. My favorite pajamas are one of Pops’s old undershirts and some maternity yoga pants."

Looking for charm, some laughs, some depth, some romance, and fantastic characters? Look no further! You have such a crush on Americano, Fizzy said. Do you realize you watch him whenever he comes in here? God, I know, Jess agreed with a groan. I’m talking to myself in a bathroom. Tells you exactly how my night is going. Seems like I might be the minority in this, but I found this book to be rather disappointing. Especially because I've really enjoyed past books from Christina Lauren.
