Thank you NetGalley and Rebecca Danzenbaker for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Wowwowwowwow, I read this book in one sitting!

Soulmatch is a YA dystopian romance that is written like a true YA book. If you don’t like that kind of writing/dialog, this isn’t for you. Lucky for me I don’t mind it!

Amazing concept and plot, love the characters. It was fast paced but easy to follow. I thought I had everything figured out but I liked the little twist at the end!!

I don’t want to say too much because this is an ARC, but do yourself a favor and pick this up once it’s published.

DNF at 52% - The beginning of this book was giving me EVERYTHING I typically look for in a dystopian novel---isolation, a test/trial of sorts, a complex political backdrop.

I found myself flying through the first half of the book due to the interest I had in finding out who Sivon's soul was. Unfortunately, I found myself a little let down with the idea that she was a new soul. I almost wanted her to be one of the 'bad' souls to see how she wrestled with this. Ultimately, I understand why the author went this route, but since we took the new soul route, it made the middle part of the book drag a little. This is where I set the book down. I could see we were going to be searching to find out if her friend actually killed herself or the government killed her, but the pacing slowed and I didn't feel the urgency.

The author did do a great job of tying in the media's influence in Sivon's life. This was interesting to me as it is very reminiscent of our current society.

Thank you for the advance copy!

This was an absolutely phenomenal read.

One of my favorite things about reading is when you really get a good story that makes you FEEL without explaining in literal words how you're supposed to feel.
When an author can weave characters so well that someone on page that says and does all the right things and is seemingly a good guy, but just FEELS wrong. You're not entirely sure, because there's been no evidence to suggest otherwise but you just FEEL off about them - only to later have all of those suspicions confirmed and you get to have a HA I KNEW IT moment but really you're just thinking 'thank god cus I wasn't sure and I felt like I was losing my mind'

This was a sci-fi ish dystopianish perfect story. There were complexities and intricacies and they were confusing but they never lost me - they were explained well, I never felt there were plot holes or missing chunks of story. I felt connected and invested, and (exhausted from staying up far too late).

The entire concept of the story is so cool, horrifying after the conclusion and the reality of what would happen without a doubt if this was real, but god did I enjoy every moment of it.

One of my fav reads of the year so far, and I can't imagine that will change. I loved this. Rebecca has succeeded in everything she sets her mind too, and this was no exception, so congratulations Rebecca - this was an absolute killer debut and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us all next.

This was such an interesting read! It kind of boggles the mind and makes you question what kind of life you would want to live.

I liked the writing style. Although I found some parts dragging. (Mostly the beginning chapters.) The last 10% made the most impression on me.

I don't know if this is the first book of a series? The end made it seem like there's potential for more. And I'm definitely open to more.

Equal parts heart-stopping thriller and tender romance, this book is impossible to put down. Will be recommending this book all over social media closer to its release date.
