Queen B’s Decree: Red String Theory just made me so happy while reading. The premise is one of my favorite things…soulmates. How could I not be happy??
Rooney, our FMC, is an artist that has based her entire art identity about the red string theory: a theory that each person has a red string attaching them to their soulmate. Upon chance, she meets Jack, who is the scientist to her artist and doesn’t believe in fate. They spend one beautiful day together and circumstances mean they are apart until another chance meeting. Hmmmmmm Jack…that sounds like fate to me.
I thought Red String Theory was adorable. It includes a lot of information about Chinese culture and shows how both Rooney and Jack struggle with their identities and where they fit (obvs together, duh).
Overall, this is a smut-free romance that is sweet and heartwarming. It’s my second by Lauren Kung Jessen and I hope it won’t be my last.
