The One by John Marrs
4.5
dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this book was SOOOOO good— the only points lost was i was expecting a psychological thriller but this is like… a softer, romantic thriller???? it was not as dark as i had expected it to be, but definitely had darker undertones and morally ambiguous characters. it follows the stories of five different characters, and in the end, there is no crossover. each story has its own unique plot points that are centered around everyone having their own DNA match. there were so many twists and turns that i didn’t see coming, and some that i did. it was such an easy read with short chapters and different perspectives that made it so captivating. loved!
