The Ones We're Meant to Find
by Joan He
THIS BOOK. It blew my mind with the twists and turns. I don't want to say too much because honestly it makes for a much better, fast-paced read.
However...I did make the mistake of not reading the synopsis of this book lol. It was totally a cover pick (I mean look at that cover), and I think I vaguely knew it was about two sisters. Besides that there was a lot of hype and people screaming about this book that made me want to request it.
Going in, I was completely shocked this book was sci-fi. I was not expecting it at all, which is totally my fault. I'm very bad when it comes to reading synopses because I don't want to get spoiled, so I tend to skim very fast and only retain a few words, or I read the first paragraph and if it hooks me, I ignore the rest. I did the latter in this situation, and boy was I surprised when things got technical.
I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi. I find it hard to get into the story because a lot of the tech is confusing and difficult to imagine, and it also makes it harder for me to picture the characters in the setting. That's the only reason I've rated this 3 stars instead of 4. It's just not the genre I generally gravitate towards, but plot-wise it was incredible and kind of mind-blowing.
Still highly recommend this if you're looking for a book that'll keep you on your toes, and has a beautiful, realistic relationship between two sisters.
