This book took me in directions that I was never expecting. It was dark, it was twisted, and it was just so darn good. I loved that there were so many perspectives being followed to show the real impact of the Match Your DNA test, and the way that everyone was so different gave it dimension. At first, I really hated that we got such short chapters for everyone and that the chapter would end right as something was happening, but towards the middle and end of the book I started to appreciate the anticipation that the shorter chapters were able to create, so the next time we met that particular character there was a bigger impact from whatever was happening.
