Great book give it a listen!

I bought this on a whim and I’m so glad i did. This book is Brilliant. The story is gripping, moving between the different people with different narrators works very well. I binge listed to the first 5 hours of it in one go unintentionally it’s that good. Definitely worth an audible credit. Iv told several people about this book.

Gripping AF

Such a thrilling novel with plenty of twists and turns. Interesting and original concept. Very Brooker-esque. Fans of Black Mirror will enjoy this book. John Marrs is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

The One

I have been looking forward to this book for ages. So much so that it is one of those that I have kept putting off because I wanted to be fully prepared! This book also completes my John Marrs bingo, and I have definitely saved the best for last because this was just amazing and totally worth the hype.
I loved how all the different individual stories were intertwined so brilliantly together and with the added brilliance of the DNA match story this was a total unputdownable page-turner.
The story follows five characters and how their lives are changed after they do the DNA test and find out who their match is. Each character story is almost a different genre in itself, and with short, snappy chapters that rotate through each storyline it is a plotting masterpiece.
With twists, turns and bombshells all over the place, I can't wait to see this on screen.

Gripping!

Wow! I loved this audiobook, it took a few chapters to get into it as there are so many new characters to get to know. Very well worth it though, what a great story, so enjoyable to listen to something completely fresh. The narrators really added to the enjoyment, each brining out the character they represent. Would totally recommend it!

An interesting and entertaining concept

An enjoyable audiobook which tells the stories of five main characters who supposedly obtain their perfect genetic partner using the company Match Your DNA. All the characters buy in to this concept regardless of their match’s age, gender, location or criminal tendencies, even forsaking current relationships. The chapters are short and choppy, each ending on a cliffhanger and the audio is easy to follow. An interesting and entertaining concept.
