The One

Betrayal! Murder! Cancer! Pregnancy! Coma! Serial killer! Lies! Cheating! Mental illness! Straight men turning gay! Fake funerals! Kidnappings! Hacking!
Wow, is this book an OTT, ridiculous page-turning ride or what?
I wanted The One, a novel about a DNA test that will match you up with your (biological) soul mate, to take a Black Mirror-like direction, but nah, John Marrs was more interested in making his book as pulpy and twisty as it could be, to the point of it not making sense. Who wouldn't want to read about a serial killer going on runs without his underwear on so that everyone could see his d!ck swing or two straight men reenacting a gay-for-you scenario instead of diving into something a bit more thoughtful?
It was almost impossible to put down. But it was also kinda bad.

No need for me to put together a review. Your last line sez it all.
Impossible to put down but bad�. Perfect description.
Your last line totally sums it up for me.
I totally agree ! Read the whole thing in one day. Hated it. But needed to finish it. Really, really bad.
You perfectly articulated my thoughts on this book lol. Very addictive but I was hoping for a better story.
Im guess this contains a spoiler. I just got to the part where she goes to the funeral of Richard. So that was fake.
Whyyyyy do people do this??? You literally just spoiled some of the twists for me. Please put spoiler warnings.
