About this listen

In this charming rom-com about two star-crossed lovers, a woman whose life is guided by her belief in the red-string of fate finds her perfect match—but his skepticism about true love puts a knot in their chances.

Just a date . . . or a twist of fate?

When it comes to love and art, Rooney Gao believes in signs. Most of all, she believes in the Chinese legend that everyone is tied to their one true love by the red string of fate. And that belief has inspired her career as an artist, as well as the large art installations she makes with (obviously) red string. That is until artist’s block strikes and Rooney begins to question everything. But then fate leads her to the perfect guy . . .

Jack Liu is perfect. He’s absurdly smart, successful, handsome, and after one enchanting New York night—under icy February skies and fueled by fried dumplings—all signs point to destiny. Only Jack doesn’t believe. And after their magical date, it looks like they might be lost to each other forever . . . until they’re given one more chance to reconnect. But can Rooney convince a reluctant skeptic to take a leap of fate?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“I devoured this! Beautifully written, DEEPLY romantic, real, funny, heartfelt.”—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author

"There’s nothing I love in romance more than fated mates, and Lauren executes it beautifully in RED STRING THEORY! Her writing is as sparkling and smart as ever! Lauren delivers laughs, heart, and swoon all in one ridiculously fun story!”—Sarah Adams, New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect

“Jessen impresses with this surprising and sophisticated contemporary romance. It’s unusually cerebral for a romance, marrying a believable love connection with a thoughtful meditation on how humans make meaning in life. The result is smart, sensitive, and striking.”—Publishers Weekly

It was a cute, romantic book but quite cheesy..

Definitely better set for the young adult crowd.

I like this story a lot. The characters are interesting. While most books I've read lately the mfc is a writer, artist is nice. The science and folklore and culture being mixed together makes a beautiful combination. The way the story rounds the end out with choices being the deciding factor is a great statement. I'll be reading again and will buy the hard copy.

fate and science. a fun concept.
