I wanted to love this book, but it fell a little short for me.  While I thoroughly enjoyed the magical realism and the inner workings of the One & Only business, the main character, Cassia, was a tough sell.  

On the bright side, the love triangle felt fresh, and both men were entirely swoon-worthy, making the relationships feel believable.  Ultimately, though, I just couldn't quite get past Cassia's entitlement and brattiness. 

 From the publisher: She’s seen 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, the 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. 

Enter Ellis. He’s twenty-eight, indecently handsome, and not destined to be the love of her life. But destiny has more than one curveball ready, and her surprising connection with Ellis might be the key that unlocks finding her fated—and reveals a family secret that will make her question everything she’s ever known about her family, her belief in love, and truth itself. 

Cassia will have to decide if she’ll follow her fate… or make her own.
