This is a sweet if somewhat muddled story about coping with grief and finding love. Corinne is a good character but the app, seriously? Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Unfortunately this one wasn’t for me. I felt like I’d missed a chunk of the story at the start and didn’t manage to connect with the main character. I’m sure this is a me thing and others will absolutely love this.

I had a hard time connecting with Corinne and found her pretty rude for the first half of the book. Most of the love story is pretty predictable but the thing that makes it stand out (the Met app) is never explained, which was annoying. How does an app magically know all the details of your life? Where did it come from? Felt very odd.

What if your friend could help you find happiness after they pass away. Corinne drops her phone into a puddle and the next thing she knows there is this strange app that appears. It is called Met and it gives her the opportunity to reconnect with four missed connections from her past in order to find her soul mate. Should she trust this app or her own heart. After she meets the other Cory she has to wonder.

Thank you to Netgalley and Lake Union Publishers for the opportunity to read and review this charming book.

Corinne lived in Chicago when she was young but her family moved to Houston after her parents’ divorce. After her best friend Joelle dies, Corinne decides to move back there, needing a change and somehow being closer to the city where they were first friends makes sense.

Corinne has given up her stable job and is temping, in need of making new friends, starting with a family friend who introduces her to a whole new circle of people.

One day she drops her phone and a strange new app called Met is loaded there that she can’t remove. It opens up the possibility that her soul mate is one of four people she has already met. But who is the fourth person?

Corinne finds emotional healing in this story, new friends, and someone that loves and supports her unconditionally. It’s an easy read and the story and plot moves quickly. I loved it!
