Description
Perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Emily Henry
35-year-old Ursula Byrne is successful, witty, smart, and single. She's tried all the dating apps, and let's just say: she's underwhelmed by her options.
Enter The Arc...
The Arc is a mysterious, super-sophisticated matchmaking service that relies on a complex series of emotional, psychological and physiological assessments. The price tag is high, the promise ambitious- you get one match, and one match only. Because one is all you need for a partnership that will go the distance.
Is this a date with destiny? Or with data?
Ursula is paired with 42-year-old lawyer Rafael Banks, and from the start, this feels like the electric, lasting love they've each been seeking their whole adult lives. But as their relationship unfolds in unanticipated ways, the two begin to question The Arc's legitimacy.
After all, the arc of a relationship is never predictable ... even when it's fully optimized.

Advance Praise
'Hoen has the rare combination of a satirist's eye and a romantic's soul...Clear off space on your shelf of contemporary favorites for this timeless love story wrapped in a timely, funny portrait of modern society.' Mary Laura Philpott, author of I Miss You When I Blink
'You don't expect a razor-sharp satire to satisfy so deeply on an emotional level, but The Arc does that and more: Hoen brings humor, wit and brutal honesty to start-up culture, relationships and human frailty in this riveting debut.' Alexandra Andrews, author of Who is Maud Dixon?
