発行者による作品情報
In Five Years meets a millennial The Joy Luck Club in the adult debut from the author of YA Reese Pick Throwback— a funny and fresh love story of a woman thrown a curveball by fate, and the family secret that will make her question everything.
She knows what her happily ever after looks like. And it’s not him.
Cassia Park believes in soul mates. Fated love stories. It’s her family business, after all—for centuries, from Korea to Los Angeles, Park women have peered into clients’ past lives to find their one true love, their fated. This magical secret is why One & Only Matchmaking has a 100% guarantee…for everyone but Cassia.
For ten years, Cass has been searching for her fated, a man named Daniel Nam. But he’s still nowhere to be found.
And so, on the eve of her 40th birthday, Cass decides to do something for herself. She impulsively has a fling with Ellis. He’s twenty-eight, indecently handsome, and not destined to be the love of her life. But she’s surprised by their connection and their fling feels like something more—up to the moment he introduces her to his boss…Daniel Nam.
As she battles between fate and chance, head and heart, a family secret is revealed that will make her question everything she’s ever known. Cassia will have to decide if she’ll follow her fate…or make her own.
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.
