Red String Theory by Lauren Kung Jessen asks does life lean towards fate or choice? Rooney Gao believes in fate and the Chinese legend of the Red String that says an invisible red thread connects us to the people we are destined to meet and be connected with. Jack Liu is a skeptic who truly believes in choices. What if they are both right?
Rooney was very loveable and I enjoyed getting to know her and walk with her on her self-discovery and art journey. Jack was interesting as he was trying to please his parents, figure out how to get ahead at work, and decide if he could actually fall in love. I enjoyed the slow burn of this story and how it was so relational. Getting a glimpse into the world of NASA and the art world was highly interesting.
The Chinese legend of the red string is one of my favorites that I first learned of when we adopted our daughter from China. It was a delight to see the connection in the story. I loved Red String Theory by Laruen Kung Jessen and I highly recommend.
I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
From attending culinary school to working in the world of Big Tech to writing love stories, Lauren cares about creating experiences that make people feel something. When she’s not writing novels, she works as a content strategist and user experience writer.
She also has a food and film blog, A Dash of Cinema, where she makes food inspired by movies and TV shows. She lives in Nashville with her husband (who she met thanks to fate—read: the algorithms of online dating), two cats, and dog.
