I love soulmate AUs. So much. I don't care if it's a science-y thing or a fantasy thing- I just love the concept of soul mate AUs. There's so much to explore and so many things that can happen. How do you react to knowing with certainty that this perfect stranger is your soul mate? Or when they are your soul mate but you feel nothing? Or your significant other isn't your soul mate? Like it's just a study of humanity and who people are. It fascinates me so I knew I was going to enjoy this book.

I really enjoyed all the different couples. The variety was interesting and since there are so many possibilities, it was nice to see a few played out. I think all the relationships and situations were really well developed. There was no one who bored me.

One of the issues I had was with so many characters and such short chapters (they were usually only a couple pages), I sometimes forgot who was who. I wish there'd been a little more time with the characters before switching to someone new. I think that would have made it easier for me to keep up with everyone. It'd just be like three pages with one person, then fifteen pages before you saw them again.

I also felt like the chapters ended on cliffhangers too frequently. It felt like almost every chapter ended dramatically, either with a cliffhanger or a big reveal or just something to elicit a gasp. Which is fine with me usually, but the chapters were so short that it meant you were getting something like that every couple pages. It wound up feeling forced and annoying, and then eventually later in the book it became kind of cartoonish. It was just so unnecessary.

I don't think this is a thriller. It was described to me as a thriller, and while it is incredibly dark, I feel like it doesn't quite hit the thriller vibes. Like it has murder and sabotage and all that good stuff, but it doesn't feel like a thriller. To me it's more of a dark drama. I feel like going in with that expectation is a little better. Or at least it would have been for me.

This was great though. Like I loved the concept and Marrs' writing was great. I'm so glad I finally got to it and I'd highly recommend to anyone.
