The Mismatch review: Sara Jafari's novel captured the essence of graduatingĪmericano (or Dr River Peña) is the lead scientist at GeneticAlly, who have found a way to see if you're soulmates with someone based on your genes.

Ten books you should read so you can stop asking your friend if you're racist.They regularly work together from their favourite independent coffee shop and of course there is a six foot four man who dresses perfectly and seems very standoffish (because he's shy!
