This book is EPIC. After loving The Passengers, I wanted to check out more books from this author and everyone kept recommending this book to me, and wow I'm so glad I read this. Like The Passengers, this book also feels very Black Mirror to me. The concept for this book is one of my favorites ever: it takes place in a world where you can take a DNA test and find "the one" you are supposed to be with. This company has discovered something in our DNA that matches us with one other person on this planet - our "soul mate" and if you take a simple DNA test you can find who you are supposed to be with. This person can be decades older or younger than you, they can live on the other side of the world - they can be anybody.

We follow five different people who live completely different and unique stories. I think it's best to jump into this story without really knowing much - I was surprised on every single page in this story. The chapters are super short so I flew through this 430 page book in 2 days, I couldn't put it down. Every chapter ends on a bit of a cliff hanger and I loved the way it was written - I loved constantly changing every chapter between the five characters, the pace of this book was just so quick because I couldn't wait to get back to certain character chapters.

My personal favorite character story lines in this book are Nick's and Chritopher's, theirs are the most interesting to me and the stories I got the most invested in. (view spoiler)[I think I loved Nick's chapters so much because I'm a huge fan of characters exploring their sexual orientation and him and Alex were so fucking cute they made my heart SOAR, and Christopher's is great for obvious reasons, I mean a serial killer matched with a cop?? This is great stuff (hide spoiler)] I wasn't a huge fan of Mandy's story or Jade's, and Ellie's took some time to get interesting - but by the end I was obsessed and every story line got soooo interesting and I loved the hell out of the ending.

I love the thought provoking questions this book forces you to think about, like if this test actually existed would you take it? Or would you be happy being with the person you are currently with and not want to risk losing them? I feel like for me personally I would be too curious and I would need to know either way. This story was just so incredible - there were so many twists that I didn't see coming and some that I did, but I just had so much fun reading this and I wanted to read everything this author has written now.
