The One: A Novel

От прямо натягнута 4. Я б поставив 3, але сюжет був дійсно унікальним. І це напевно єдине, що було цікаве в цій книзі. Чи були персонажі, яким я співпереживав? Ні. Чи були історії які мені здались цікавими —так. Проте автор зробив так, що до кінця книги, мені вже було однаково чим воно все скінчиться. Ідея — це єдине хороше, що я зміг знайти в цій книзі

Понравилось очень-очень!!! Читала и днем, а не только перед сном. Концовка может быть и не супер, но жаль, что у автора нет пока других книг!

Scientists have discovered a gene that each person shares with only one single other person on the earth- their soulmate. Through a simple DNA test, you can be matched to your perfect partner. With a 100% success rate, what’s to lose?? Five people who have just been matched find out how love isn’t as simple as the science. What happens when your match lives across the world? Is much older/younger? Is dead? Is a psychopath serial killer?I throughly enjoyed every aspect of this book! The whole concept, the characters, all the different relationship dynamics, the entire wild journey it takes you on…. It was all fantastic and very thought-provoking. Just how much would you risk if you thought someone was your only chance at real true love? How much would you overlook? I like that the book digs into how this discovery has completely changed the trajectory of traditional dating/marriage/divorce/sexual relationships both positively and negatively and confronted any of the real life ramifications you can think of with someone like this. I love that it took time to really flesh out the science behind it, too. Chapters alternate between all 5 character’s POV. There wasn’t a single storyline I wasn’t invested in and I never anticipated all the twists and turns as each “love story” unfolded. Some of it was a little outlandish and there was some hard/gruesome parts to read but it worked for this story. This is a book I’ll be thinking about for awhile!
