Gr 8 Up–Piper lives in a small town where Fate herself once visited and blessed her family. With the blessing, family members can to tell when they've met their soulmate. This bit of magic, and one day inheriting the family jewelry business, has been Piper’s sole focus since she was a small child. But lately things have not been going well. One of her best friends has stopped talking to her, her soulmate parents have gotten a divorce, and she already feels like an outsider in her family due to a physical disability. With all of these obstacles, Piper will finally have to learn to trust in herself and not depend on fate to lead the way. This romance is a fairly quick read and a stand-alone that includes some fun tropes, like a love triangle and fated soulmates. While the book has a magical component, that is the extent of the magic. The teen characters are all 18, but there is no sexual content in the book, just some cursing. Piper is white and other characters’ races are not explicitly noted. In addition, disability is well portrayed by the author, who also has a physical disability.
