The Name On Your Wrist By Helen Hiorns

The Name On Your Wrist by Helen Hiorns
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

This was a good read, but had a few plot holes and lacked explanations.

Keeping the name on your wrist to yourself is the biggest secret you will have.
This is why i found it difficult to understand why you'd get branded with a name at the age of three.
Surely, if it's meant to be top secret, you wouldn't get your name until you're old enough to fully understand how big of a deal it is.

Corin's opinions about soul mates kept on changing, which was really annoying.
One minute, she'd think that the soul mate thing didn't really work. Though, the next minute, she'd be utterly shocked that someone she knew, knew someone who went against it, and chose their own partner.

The whole marriage aspect in the book got me stumped. Not knowing if that's YOUR Tom (Or whatever name it may be) before you get married is stupid. They say that having a match, has better odds of a marriage working out than choosing your own partner. How is that true, when you could be marrying the wrong person entirely, just because they have the same name?
The marriage would defiantly have more of a chance in working out, if they found out they're getting married to the right person, before the vows were exchanged.
Either that, or the names could include the last names too.
Would make it a lot more easier, and would include a lot less heartbreak.

I wanted more of an explanation for the "Two child max" thing.
While it's not a hard concept to grasp (It's obvious they can't have more than two kids), i just wanted to know what would happen if they had more.
If they had one child, but then had twins, what would happen? Would they need to put one into care, or abort one while it was in the womb?

The ending was quite confusing, and rushed.

Overall, the plot was good, but lack of explanations slightly ruined it.
