5.0

I watched the show back when it came out and finally got around to reading the book. The book blew the show out of the water for me! I really enjoy John Marrs speculative thrillers because they are so close to reality. I could see this being a thing, and maybe there’s already a start up somewhere matching people based on DNA. I loved that just because you are matched doesn’t mean you get your happily ever after. There’s a lot of characters, but I didn’t find it hard to follow at all given they all have very different situations going on.
