The Name On Your Wrist by Helen Hiorns is a book set in the future where everyone has a name on their wrist. This person is their soul mate, and they can't show anyone that name. However Corin doesn't think that the name on her wrist should rule her life, she goes against traditions, makes a name for herself as a 'slut', and sometimes breaks the law as she wants to control her own life like the people she reads about in books (like Harry Potter and Shakespeare) that have been banned.

She convinces everyone at her school that her carpinomen (soul mate) is Thomas after dating several boys with that name, however after breaking up with several of them a new boy steps into her life. People are shocked by this, especially her mother and her emotionally unstable sister, as she finds out the truth about her sisters rebellious trait.

This book has a very good concept and it starts off really well but the end goes downhill. At the beginning it's really enthralling, when you want to find out about this whole new world and how it works, and how Corin tries to see people rebelling. The end was a disappointment. I got really excited to see what happened, but it just ended up sounding like she had rushed to finish it the easiest way possible.

It turned out to be very predictable and at the end it didn't seem fully finished.

I would give this book three stars out of five as it started off really well but ended up really badly. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they have read everything and needed another book to read.
