The storylines were definitely sensational, I almost abandoned it because of how "out-there" each one was - and it was a mix of predictable and surprising - BUT I still could not stop reading. The major plot twist I did not see coming and that made it worth it. I also love short chapters!

This book has 4 non-converging plots, and the build to the reveal is extremely slow. Most the excitement is in the last few chapters of the book. While I felt it was fun to see the twists happen, it really drolled on before that.

Wow this book truly surprised me. I got the rec from tiktok and I’m so happy I added it to my TBR. Legit almost every twist and turn took me by genuine surprise and I legit jaw dropped, laughed out loud and kicked my feet while reading this book. Was a bit slow to start but wrapped up so well at the end. Highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVED this book and all the twists and turns. Written in the POV of 5 different people who have been matched to their 'perfect match' via DNA, they all have vastly different experiences. Because the chapters are so short, the book FLIES by and I was constantly left wanting more. I did however feel like the endings for some of the characters was kinda meh and the last chapter left me thinking 'oh, that's it?'. I'd still recommend the book to anyone who likes dark, twisty and fast paced books.
