Describing my book in 1 sentence is HARD!! Which of these appeal most… I haven’t managed to fit in that her ID bracelet works against her, emitting forbidden colour for the whole world to see! And her partner in all this is a STATE ASSIGNED “soul mate” selected by the Matchmaker.

✨CONSTELLATION OF EMOTION✨ Our Missing Hearts meets The School for Good Mothers Slow burn, psychologically rich adult speculative literary fiction with young adult cross over and series potential. #questpit #W #A #LF #S #D

In a society where emotion is
outlawed, Elara Quinn enters
a state‑mandated match,
monitored by an AI built to
break her. As her bracelet
flares with forbidden colour,
Solan, raised in absolute
obedience, begins to unravel.
Together they face a system
that erodes the self risking
everything for who they truly are.
