And, boy, those two are adorable and perfect and exactly what you’d dream to have in your own life. Her dad wasn’t a part of her life growing up and her mom has been a partier for nearly all of Jess’s life, so her grandparents are her anchor. I love the entire cast of supporting characters in Jess’s family (and found family).

Numbers make sense to her, so they can totally find her her dream man.

She and her best friend, Fizzy, learn about this DNA test that matches you up with the one you’re meant to be with and she’s definitely intrigued.

As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the 'Diamond' pairing that could make GeneticAlly a mint in stock prices, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist-and the science behind a soulmate-than she thought. Jess-who is barely making ends meet-is in no position to turn it down, despite her skepticism about the project and her dislike for River. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get to know him and we'll pay you. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate. This is one number she can't wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98% compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly's founder, Dr. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands.
