This book was like reading 5 different AU fan fictions set in the same universe. It was a fairly fun time, but the 5 POVs didn't give me enough time to care about anyone.

Okay, so this is now my favourite read so far!

I love fast-paced books and this was rapid!

At first I was worried with the number of characters and their stories, but very quickly you pick it up. 

My jaw hit the floor with Ellie and Tim's story and Mandys story with Pat and Chloe. I had to turn my kindle off for 5 minutes and have a breather. 

Thank you John Marrs!

I went into this book expecting to love it but I only found it ok. 

Your Perfect Match is a company that has discovered a unique gene that links two soul mates around the world. This book follows a number of these matches, showing a range of the potential experiences that could be born through this sort of discovery.

I enjoyed some storylines more than others. There were implications of being "only gay for you" which felt a bit funky. Overall, I liked the premise but didn't find the reveals particularly shocking.
