Description
This charming fated-love rom-com about two star-crossed lovers will appeal to readers of Helen Hoang, Jasmine Guillory, and Sarah Adams.
Just a date . . . or a twist of fate?
When it comes to love and art, Rooney Gao believes in signs. Most of all, she believes in the Chinese legend that everyone is tied to their one true love by the red string of fate. And that belief has inspired her career as an artist, as well as the large art installations she makes with (obviously) red string. That is until artist’s block strikes and Rooney begins to question everything. But then fate leads her to the perfect guy . . .
Jack Liu is perfect. He’s absurdly smart, successful, handsome, and after one enchanting New York night—under icy February skies and fueled by fried dumplings—all signs point to destiny. Only Jack doesn’t believe. And after their magical date, it looks like they might be lost to each other forever . . . until they’re given one more chance to reconnect. But can Rooney convince a reluctant skeptic to take a leap of fate?

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! This was a really sweet book! The Rooney and Jack were just delightful. Their time together just felt almost magical, probably because this whole book is beautifully written. I think the dialogue was the best and strongest part of this book. I enjoyed every conversation between our two main characters. The concept of this romance is so interesting. I usually don't go for books about soul mates or fate, but the fate vs. choice woven into the plot of Red String Theory really worked for me. The pacing overall is great and I found myself very engrossed in the plot early on. This is definitely a worthwhile read!
This book had outer space and what was essentially fated mates and I’m obsessed! Two books in and Lauren has become an auto read author. The way she fuses the love story with culture is beautiful.
It was the ultimate slow burn but it was the most fun to read. Swoony and sweet!
