Welcome to One & Only matchmaking, where your one true love awaits … unless fate has other plans. Perfect for fans of Past Lives, In Five Years and The Man Who Didn't Call.
Cassia Park believes there’s a someone out there for everyone. Soulmates. Fated love stories. After all, it's her family business. For centuries, the Park women have had a 100 percent success rate in matchmaking. Their secret? the magical gift to peer into people’s past lives to find the perfect match.
This is why Cass knows exactly what her happy ending looks like – a man named Daniel Nam. But after ten years of searching, she’s done waiting around for fate.
Enter Ellis Yang-Cohen: twenty-eight, indecently handsome and certainly not destined to be the love of her life. Their chemistry is instant and impossible to ignore. Just as Cass starts falling for Ellis, he introduces her to his boss. . . Daniel Nam.
Faced with two possibilities – destiny and chance – and two very different futures, Cass must decide what kind of life she wants. And when a family secret surfaces, her happiness isn’t the only thing on the line . . . and who she chooses could cost them everything.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
YA author Goo (The Way You Make Me Feel) makes her adult romance debut with this enjoyable contemporary. Workaholic matchmaker Cassia Park shares a remarkable gift with all the female members of her family: they can read clients' faces to see the love connections they've made in past lives and thus determine who will be their "fated" match in this one. Cassia has been searching for her own fated, Daniel Nam, for 10 years with no luck. On the eve of her 40th birthday, she decides to forget her troubles through an uncharacteristically impulsive weekend fling with 28-year-old landscape architect Ellis—only to later discover that Daniel is Ellis's boss. Cassia is torn between the security of stability with 42-year-old Daniel and the excitement of spontaneity with carefree Ellis. Though readers will be able to predict the resolution of the love triangle from a mile away, and some may be turned off by Cassia's cheating on one leg of the triangle with the other, fans of Celine Song's films will especially enjoy Goo's exploration of complicated relationships. Add in a touch of magical realism, vivid prose, and well-rounded characters, and this makes for a diverting romp.
