Publisher Description
It’s the first thing they teach you when you start school. But they don’t need to; your parents tell you when you’re first learning how to say your name. It’s drummed into you whilst you’re taking your first stumbling steps. It’s your lullaby. From the moment it first appears, you don’t 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. It's your most preciously guarded secret; a piece of knowledge that can give another person ultimate power over you. People spend years, even decades, searching for the one they're supposed to be with.
But what if you never find that person? Or you do, but you just don't love them? What if you fall for someone else - someone other than the name on your wrist?
And what if - like Corin - the last thing in the world you want is to be found?
The gripping debut novel from the winner of the inaugural Sony Young Movellist Award.

Sony Young Movellist Winner's Awesome Debut Novel
The Name On Your Wrist is a fantastic debut novel from the winner of The Sony Young Movellist competition. Set in the future were everyone has their soulmate's name printed in their wrist, Helen Hiorns has managed to create a world so different and yet so similar to the world we live in today. The main character Corin is feisty, daring and unpredictable leaving the reader unable to predict the direction that the story will take. The ending is brilliant and leaves itself open for a sequel or/and alternative endings. Helen Hiorns' writing style is simple yet eloquent and philosophical. The Name On Everyone's Lips at the moment is Helen Hiorns!
