What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to One & Only matchmaking, where your one true love awaits … unless fate has other plans.

Cassia Park believes there’s a someone out there for everyone. Soulmates. Fated love stories. After all, it's her family business. For centuries, the Park women have had a 100 percent success rate in matchmaking. Their secret? the magical gift to peer into people’s past lives to find the perfect match.

This is why Cass knows exactly what her happy ending looks like – a man named Daniel Nam. But after ten years of searching, she’s done waiting around for fate.

Enter Ellis: twenty-eight, indecently handsome and certainly not destined to be the love of her life. Their chemistry is instant and impossible to ignore. Just as Cass starts falling for Ellis, he introduces her to his boss. . . Daniel Nam.

Faced with two possibilities – destiny and chance – and two very different futures, Cass must decide what kind of life she wants. And when a family secret surfaces, her happiness isn’t the only thing on the line . . . and who she chooses could cost them everything.

Critics Review

A swoony, funny, romantic novel about fate, love, and the best food in Los Angeles. A wildly good time.
REBECCA SERLE, New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years
Meet my new favorite book! I’m so grateful to Maurene Goo for showing up in my life with her lovely novel One & Only at the perfect moment—just when I was longing for a story that could sweep me completely away. The premise is fantastic, the plot kept me guessing, and the last chapter literally gave me shivers. What a fresh, engaging, joy of a read!
KATHERINE CENTER, New York Times bestselling author of The Rom-Commers
At once funny and gut-wrenching, and also deeply thought provoking, One & Only immediately swept me up in its magic and chaos. I loved this book.
ANNABEL MONAGHAN, New York Times bestselling author of It’s a Love Story
As a long-time member of the Maurene Goo fan club, this is the book I've been waiting for!!! Her signature blend of humor and heart and bingeable romance is ever-present in this sparkling adult debut, along with some breathtakingly sexy scenes that had me seeking a tall drink of water. I'm already eagerly awaiting her next!
YULIN KUANG, bestselling author of Reese’s Book Club pick How to End a Love Story
A deeply romantic story of love, fate and free will with a heart so big it lights up every page. Maurene Goo's voice is inimitable, irrepressible and absolutely irresistible as she deftly explores one woman's electrifying surrender to what, and who, she really wants. Whether true love finds you in every lifetime, a book this special and an author this talented only comes along in one of them. Don't miss it.
COURTNEY SUMMERS, New York Times bestselling author of Sadie
A complete joy of a novel, One & Only is a love letter to romance and fate, family and tradition, as well as nature, which blooms in and around every single page. It’s vibrant and funny, emotional and full of heart — a truly delightful read!
JENNIFER E. SMITH, bestselling author
A warm, lush, addictive story with just the right amount of magic—that is, enough to make you wish it was real.
VERONICA ROTH, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent
One & Only grabbed me and did not let go. What a beautiful story about the most important things in life: family, friendship, grief, and the power of love. I can’t wait for the world to fall for One & Only!
JASMINE GUILLORY, New York Times bestselling author
Maurene Goo dazzles in her adult debut. One & Only sparkles with Goo’s signature wit, with magic threaded throughout this romantic, wholly original story. It asks the big questions – is true love fated? How much control do we have in our lives? Is there a *right* choice? . . . a swoon-worthy story that’s brimming with heart. It doesn’t shy away from the tougher topics of grief, but it is, at its core, an absolute delight of a novel.
ELISSA SUSSMAN, bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask
Maurene Goo masterfully explores the complexity of fate, family, and true love with authenticity and heart. This is an utterly enchanting, romantic tour de force of a book.
KATE SPENCER, author of All’s Fair in Love and Pickleball
