In this society, everyone has a soulmate.
And the way to find yours is just look.
Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly.
The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle.
Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick.
The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper.
One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle.

This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm. So if you feel uncomfortable with reading about that.. this book is not for you.
Please note that this isn't reflective of my current writing. I promise I've improved a lot.
Soulmates work differently than most think. When a soulmate puts any kind of ink on their skin it shows up on the others skin. Same thing, same place.
Raven Smith had been told by his parents that they were soulmates. They had gotten matching tattoos just to prove it. They weren't soulmates. So when they divorced, Ravens father started drinking and his mother commited suicide. Soulmates weren't real. Why should he believe it?
Adrian Even's parents were soulmates. Both of his dads, they met in highschool when they noticed a tattoo on both of their hands. Now Adrian is waiting to find his one and only.
What happens when Adrian notices notes from his math class on his hand...?
What happens when Raven notices flowers and angels appearing on his arm?
