Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen
4.0

Thank you so much to Hachette Audio & Forever for the complimentary audio! 

I had never heard of the red string theory until this book and the concept of it is wild!!! And I really want to know how many individuals are set on this theory to find their love connection. 

I thought this was such a unique story and I'm not sure how NASA and artist go together. Not so much in the individuals themselves but bringing together their jobs but for whatever reason it worked and it brought Rooney and Jack together.  I love following them through their first meeting and essentially date in New York City.  I thought they had such great chemistry during this and I could feel their attraction when they were able to reconnect in California. Even with things being predictable I still was interested in their story and their back and forth proving that they were in fact brought together by fate. 

Rooney's relationship with her mother was beautiful. I love how close they were and how much Rooney admires her mom. I love that she wants to make it in the art world without her mom's help.  

I thought both narrators Yu-Li Alice Shen and Andrew Grace did a great job with their characters! I thought the narration was so creative and both narrators would talk back and forth in conversation. I hope this becomes a new trend when we have dual POVs with dual narration. It just really adds that extra element to the listening. 

I really enjoyed this and can't wait to go back to read Lunar Love!
