Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen
5.0
Thank you Netgalley, Forever ( Grand Central Publishing ) and Lauren Kung Jessen for this opportunity to read Red String Theory early.
First, after reading this book, Lauren Kung Jessen is an auto- buy author for me and I'm so happy and honored to have been able to read her second book early as well as her first novel, Lunar Love. Like Lunar love, this book has been such a wonderful reading journey for me. Red String Theory exceeded all of my expectations and made me fall in love with Love ( even though I'm already hopeless romantic ). I truly loved being apart of this world.
Now, onto the characters, Rooney and Jack. these two come from completely different worlds but have this understanding of each other that is beautiful. This understanding of thinking about life in different ways, where one goes about thinking about life fully through a fate lens while the other thinks about life scientifically and needs reasoning. They have a day where fate/red string theory seems to bring them back to each other multiple times, almost like serendipity. From that moment on we get to dive more into their connection, their chemistry how they learn to be open-minded about each other's mindsets.
Their connection is quite beautiful and very unexpected, but in the best way possible. Reading about them genuinely gives me butterflies and gives me my own hope in finding my own stringmate in this chaotic world we live in. Their story brings me so much warmth, genuine love, happiness and finding yourself outside of your normal. They make the opposites attract work in such a lovely way and it just makes me so happy.
This story brings to light how it's okay to reach for your goals and let your guard down. You don't always have to follow the method that you're used to, its okay to stray away from it as long as your happy in your decision of doing so. That's something I really took from this book and cherish so much about it.
5/5 ⭐️
