I like this so much more than I expected to! I was genuinely shocked at some of the twists and turns and I love being surprised. Definitely recommend if you also like being surprised.
I've also watched the Netflix adaptation and it's completely different, didn't enjoy it as much

This book was crazy banana pants but I ate it up! Never read a book before in which every chapter ended in a cliffhanger and had my jaw dropping as all this messy drama unfolded. Hopefully, the Netflix show improves on a few of the storylines and it will be entertaining as heck.

Unexpected gore and detailed serial killer info, couldn’t push through because it was too graphic. Should have read the TW before reading.

An amazing thriller! Imagine a company exists that has created a DNA match test to ensure that every person is matched with the ONE person on earth who is perfect for them, but only if you choose to find them. I'm this book there are multiple POVs. One of them is a serial killer. The twists had me floored. I was actually speechless. I will recommend this book from now on. I enjoyed it so much!
