Finding your soulmate is supposed to mean you get your happily ever after. Getting your red line of fate—which connects soulmates to each other—should be means of celebration. While some count down to the day they turn twenty-one, hopeful to get their line and find their soulmate, Charlene dreads her birthday. She’s already loved and lost. All she wants is for her best friend, Sadie, to be her soulmate, but when that doesn’t happen, Charlene thinks the red line is pointless. The only ones she wanted to be her soulmate aren’t, so it doesn’t matter. She doesn’t care.

Madelyn thinks the lines are overrated too, and it’s not just because she’s one of those unlucky few that don’t have lines and don’t have soulmates. She met the love of her life, Matthew— another without a line—and her life is completely full even without a soulmate. Imagine her surprise then when she wakes up one morning with a soulmate line… talk about putting some strain on her marriage.
