Cassia Park works at the family business, One & Only, which is a unique matchmaking service. They can read people’s faces and see what love they had in the past, and who will be their fated love in the present. Then they find that person and match them up. Cassie was fated to be with Daniel Nam 10 years ago, and no one was ever able to find him. Now, as she’s about to turn 40, she has no love match at all. Then she meets Ellis, who is 28, when she falls off her bike. They start hanging out and have a mad fling. Then she meets his boss, Daniel Nam, and breaks things off with Ellis, and soon begins dating Daniel, and things seem to be going well, but she can’t get Ellis out of her mind. When she learns something about Daniel, and then learns a shocking secret about her parents, it sends Cassia into a tailspin, and she has to decide who she wants to be with. I loved this book. It is an intense story of love, secrets, and listening to your heart. Following along on this love story is heartwarming and fun. This book is one of the best of the year.
