This book was a trip! I was so captivated by the premise and the storylines. It is fast-paced and exciting, and intriguing. I loved it!
The One is a multiple point of view novel that takes 5 individuals who have been matched using the Match Your DNA test and tells their story. My favourite character to follow was Nick. I think I felt the most empathetic towards him. I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers, if you know, you know. I also found Christopher really interesting to follow, but I certainly am glad he was one of several characters. It was a taste of this type of character and his mindset, without it being a full novel. Ya know?
With the short chapters, a reader can fly through this 400+ page book very quickly. I enjoyed the mix of science fiction and thriller. I don't think that's a genre blend that I have explored too much before, and now I'm intrigued by it. This may have been my first John Marrs book but it won't be my last!
