**I've just seen that this starts on Netflix on March 12th!! Please be good! 🤞**
Omfg that was crazy!!! I need to lie down in a darkened room for a while now 😂
Ok I've finally recovered from this book, so thought I would write a short spoiler free review!
Imagine if you could take a DNA test to find your one true love! In The One scientists had previously discovered a gene which you only share with one other person, your DNA match. Millions of people took the test and found their match, and now ten years later, we follow five people as they find their match. And boy what a crazy ride it is!
I'm not going to say more than that, I'm just going to use some gifs to represent what I was like as I read this book. And can I just say that I was like this from about page 5 I think?! 😂
So yeah if you want to suspend belief and just read one hell of a sci-fi/thriller I would really recommend this! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
ALSO I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS ON NETFLIX OMG IT'S GOING TO BE SO GOOOOOD!
------�----------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like I should have read this before The Passengers as there were many references to it. Nevertheless, I'm reading it now!

Sounds like Delirium but not YA! Great review, Fran!
Nicole wrote: "Sounds like Delirium but not YA! Great review, Fran!"Oh I've not read that, I shall check it out! Thanks Nicole!
I honestly wouldn't recommended it, it's very YA dystopia and sure characters are in danger but this book honestly sounds more interesting/thrilling.

Oh Fran, so glad you enjoyed this one. I loved it too. It was crazy good. Great review! I hope the Netflix version is also good. Did you also read, The Passengers, by John Marrs? It’s excellent too and I won’t forget it anytime soon.

Val wrote: "This is t my normal genre - but now you have me so interested!! Great review."Yesss! Thanks Val! I hope you like it, if you read it! I liked to switch up genres, except non-fiction, I don't really read that!
And now I've read it. I can't help nervous giggling during some of John Marrs books. 🤣

LOL! I noticed that AFTER I posted the comment. Thanks for the heads-up about the adaptation being terrible - that saves me several hours of wasted time!! HAHAHA!!
