The first half of the book started off strong, I was invested in Ursula's character and was rooting for her to find the one. Ursula is a 35 year old who is successful and spontaneous but doesn't seem to quite have it together in the love department. Ursula joins a matchmaking service called The Arc that matches couples based on emotional, psychological and physiological assessments. The price is high to join this service (touches upon gender wage gap) and you get one match only.

In the second half of the book, Ursula is paired with 42 year old lawyer Rafael and it was amazing from the get go. However, arguments start to appear and Ursula and Rafael start to question The Arc's legitimacy.

The front cover of the book is so pretty and relevant to the title. I had strong hopes for this book as the concept is different to most romances. Unfortunately, I feel that the book was longer than it was needed to be, parts of the book and the characters characteristics changed and felt unrealistic and there wasn't a strong ending to the book.
