Update to msg #34: 1/10I read The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren and gave it 4 stars. It's a romance book and this is, by far, the couple with the most chemistry that I have ever read (or at least of the ones i remember). The book fell at the 80% mark, but their love story is definitely worth reading.
