2.8.2022 - The ARC

The Arc by Tory Henwood Hoen

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for gifting me a digital copy of the debut novel by Tory Henwood Hoen - 4 stars for an intriguing look into finding your true love.

Ursula lives in Brooklyn and works at a branding agency.  She's tried her hand at relationships but is never successful.  At 35, she's ready to meet her soulmate.  Enter The ARC - an intense service that guarantees they will find you the perfect person - at a hefty price.  But she decides to take the plunge and is immersed in a weeklong stay at The ARC's facility.  She is eventually matched with Rafael and everything is going perfectly.  But will it last?

Once you got past some of the craziness, this was actually pretty thought-provoking.  I've been married too long to even image dating by way of dating apps, but this takes it all to a different level.  Who's to say who the perfect match is for another person?  And what makes relationships last?  I'll be interested in reading more from this author.
