Aftermatch

Katrina has always believed in the Valerius system-the matchmaking process that determines your romantic destiny on the New Years following your twenty-second birthday. She's waited her entire life for the moment she'd meet her match, imagined their connection, their future together.
But when New Year's Day arrives and she wakes unmatched in her own body, that future shatters. In a world where the Valerius system is absolute, being unmatched isn't just heartbreak-it's an anomaly thought to be so rare that no one knows how to help her.
As Katrina struggles to survive her new reality, she discovers she's not alone. At a grief support group for the unmatched, she meets others carrying the same impossible weight. But one of them offers her something more than sympathy: a dangerous possibility. What if the system isn't infallible? What if her unmatchedness wasn't an accident?
Drawn into a resistance movement investigating corruption at the heart of the Valerius system, Katrina uncovers a pattern of deaths among the unmatched. As she gets closer to the truth, she discovers that some people will do anything to keep the system's secrets buried-and that finding the truth might cost her everything.
