You have such a big, beautiful... personality. And being neutered would be kind of a downer."

But come on. I know you well enough to know that you’re not carrying baggage.” He was holding her gaze, and she felt physically unable to look away. “You’ve chosen your circumstances, Jess.

Tells you exactly how my night is going.With an incredulous laugh, Jess gestured around them. Ground zero of University Heights gossip. The rumor mill of Park Avenue. She waited, but he continued to gaze down at her, perplexed. Is it true? she asked. Are you a matchmaker? GeneticAlly’s test is capable of identifying genetic commonalities, not personality traits. However, many of the high-level couples seem to have similar senses of humor, life goals, and dispositions. What do you think this says about nature versus nurture?

Fizz. I’ve had sex since birthing Juno, Jess said in exasperation. I’m just saying I don’t have a lot left over for commitment, and I’m not willing to endure boring or outright terrible dates just for orgasms. They make battery-operated appliances for that.

You have such a crush on Americano, Fizzy said. Do you realize you watch him whenever he comes in here? Y todo esto es básicamente para decir que lle gas a un punto en The Soulmate Equation en la que sabes que va pasar en lo que queda de la novela debido a esta formula. You also have grandparents who live next door and are more than happy to watch her while you’re on a date, and a best friend who thinks your kid is cooler than you are. We all just want you to be happy. Fizzy began peeling the paper off her muffin. “What I was going to say is that you can’t throw in the towel because of one bad date.”Don’t get me wrong, this book was not all heavy science talk or discussion about DNA and compatibility. Christina Lauren penned great characters who explored this idea of matchmaking in a way that was sweet, romantic, and endearing.
