Lunar Love drew me in with a beautiful cover and classic romance premise. Olivia has recently become the owner of Lunar Love, a family-run Chinese matchmaking business. Bennett is the owner of ZodiacCupid, an app that threatens to undermine Lunar Love’s business. Can two rival business owners with completely different opinions find a way to compromise or something more? Olivia and Bennet find themselves connecting over matchmaking, being mixed race, and what true compatibility looks like. 

Lunar Love made me more curious to learn more about the Chinese zodiac and I enjoyed how they both used it in different ways. There is a great discussion guide and Q&A with the author at the end of the book. At times Olivia could be pretty rigid in her point of view, to the point where it was tedious to read. Bennett was always charming and I loved watching him convince Olivia that he was genuinely someone she should take a chance on. Lunar Love was a lighthearted and enjoyable romance. I’ll look forward to reading more from Lauren Kung Jessen! I would recommend Lunar Love to fans of Roselle Lim and Jackie Lau. 

Thank you so much to Lauren Kung Jessen, Forever, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
