The Arc by Tory Henwood Hoen
3.0
3.5
This is quite the standout debut! I loved the unique story line where there is an elite service that promises to match participants with their perfect partner. I loved that the two leads, Ursula and Rafael, were older and a little dismissive about whether the service would work but still optimistic enough to try.
I didn't love how long the story dragged on. It could have been edited much more for my tastes but I kept reading because I had to find out what would happen to the MCs, would they get their happily ever after or was the story going to take a more sinister turn?? This isn't a light rom-com, but much more of a women's fiction/literary story. Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend if you're looking for something different from the norm. Much thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan audio for my advance review copy.
