The One by John Marrs
2.0
The One is a psychological thriller infused with a touch of science fiction, centering around the premise of a company, Match Your DNA, that has discovered the gene linking each person to their soul mate. Over the past decade, millions have found their perfect match through this groundbreaking technology, forever changing the way people view love and relationships.
While the concept is gripping, the execution left me feeling a bit adrift. The story jumps between multiple characters, each with their own unique and unrelated storyline. The constant shifts make it challenging to keep track of who's who, and it can be tough to settle into any one narrative before you're whisked away to another.
That said, if you're looking for a casual read, this book could be a fun pick. But if you're expecting something more like Black Mirror, you might find this one lacking.
