I WORK FROM HOME and still say it all day, to the DOGS. A CHALLENGE: go one full day without uttering the word “sorry,” and you will notice how often you say it. Girls grow up learning that they should feel guilty for the dumbest things, and we carry that through the rest of our lives. I am not a parent and will never be a parent, but I suspect this is a shitty, common feeling among most moms and I truly empathize with you. But she can’t shake the guilt that comes whenever she isn’t with Juno, but could be. Could she go on dates, spend time without her kid, do something just for her? Of course, in fact Fizzy and her grandparents are constantly telling her to. And this pretty much takes up Jess’ whole world.

They even say, only sort of jokingly, that Juno is half Fizzy’s because their personalities are so similar. Her grandparents and romance novelist best friend, Fizzy, all take turns with her after school.

Jess is VERY “I can do it all myself,” but she does accept help from her tiny village to help Juno. ♥ Jess is a stats wiz and single mom to Juno, who is 7 and prefers nonfiction about animals to storybooks. As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the “Diamond” pairing that could make GeneticAlly a mint in stock prices, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist–and the science behind a soulmate–than she thought.įunny, warm, and full of heart, The Soulmate Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and choice can never be calculated.įriends, I am late to the Christina Lauren party and I fully admit it. 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. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get to know him and we’ll pay you. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate.

This is one number she can’t wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98% compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly’s founder, Dr.

Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands. Jess holds her loved ones close, but working constantly to stay afloat is hard…and lonely.īut then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever. After all, her father’s never been around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before Juno was even born. Raised by her grandparents–who now help raise her seven-year-old daughter, Juno–Jess has been left behind too often to feel comfortable letting anyone in. 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.
