The One by John Marrs
3.5
tense fast-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Super quick read, and a fascinating concept for a book. I think the short chapters helped with the pace of the book. The number of POVs was interesting because it wasn't too much to make it confusing, but it was also enough to where the characters just felt meh. I felt like Chris had the most personality out of all of them, and he was the killer.

Don't Read Ahead If You Haven't Read It:


Mandy had the worst parts to read, and it was just immensely stupid. Why on Earth are you going to carry a child for a man that you're matched with and didn't meet at that point because you think he's dead? You JUST met his "mother" and "sister " after a couple of months and are willing to isolate yourself from your family for this fake family. Give me a break.


Overall, this wasn't bad. It was entertaining, and it was quick to read. Damn, some of these characters were dumb though.
