The Name On Your Wrist by Helen Hiorns
From the moment it first appears, you dont tell anyone the name on your wrist. In Corin's world, your carpinomen - the name of your soul mate, marked indelibly on your wrist from the age of two or three - is everything.
A book that leaves the reader thinking and questioning, excellently written and an unusual premise which offers huge scope - scope that is more than fulfilled in a twisting plot with some unexpected turns * Parents in Touch *
Wow! What a story. . I loved the idea of each person's soulmate being written on their wrist, but Corin, the heroine, is full of questions about how her soulmate has been chosen and why -- Malorie Blackman

I love books that still have me thinking about them days after I’ve finished. The Name On Your Wrist is an impressive debut and I for one can’t wait to see what Helen Hiorns comes up with next. There are many things that impressed me, but the fact that I couldn’t predict where the story was going to go was the best. There are surprises in store for the reader, which makes this book just even better * Luna's Little Library *
This is another welcome edition to the ever growing dystopian list with a more than interesting premise . . . We have a flawed but feisty heroine, Corin, complex family issues and a complicated budding romance. Hiorns has created some very intriguing characters, and the relationship centred on self harm and resentment between Corin and her older sister Jacinta I found particularly interesting. Lots of questions about morality, love and free will are raised and the underlying theme of conspiracy makes for a thrilling read * Children's Newsletter, Askew & Holts *
