After her own meet cute happened online, Lauren Kung Jessen decided she wanted to write about the world of online dating, but with a Chinese twist. Today, we talk with Lauren about her debut book, Lunar Love, how to make a meet cute out of any situation, and why (or why not) rooster signs make good podcast hosts.

Lunar Love tells the love story between the unlikely pair: Olivia Huang Christenson and Bennett O’Brien. Olivia has taken over her grandmother’s matchmaking business, while Bennett has created a dating app that could run her out of business. As the two businesses go head to head, Bennett and Liv make a deal: they’ll find a match for each other—and whoever falls in love loses. But as they’re helping clients achieve #RelationshipGoals, these two matchmakers learn the most amazing love story may be their own.
