Wow! This book has so many twists and turns I nearly put my back out!

It is a very up to the minute and original book with characters you can relate to. If you want a can't put it down read then this is THE ONE!

I highly recommend it!

Wow, this was an incredible book, and I don't think I drew breath until I had finished it! It was a stunning, complex, multi-faceted read, and my first John Marrs book. I doubt it will be my last though!

Such an interesting idea - you can find out who your perfect match is by way of a simple DNA test. If you had the opportunity to do it, would you? That is the million dollar question though. Would you take it if you had been happily married for decades? How far would you go to be with your Match?

This book goes into the stories of 5 people who take the test, 5 very different people, all in different phases of their lives. The beauty of this book is that it starts off quite gently and you get to know the characters, their lives and the people in their lives. And then, bit by bit, the book ramps up until you are on a rollercoaster that is going very fast and all you can do is hang onto the sides and enjoy the ride.

Highly recommended read from me!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. Thank you to Del Rey Publishing and to the author for crafting a book that was SO real, I ended up doing a bit of a Google search after I had finished the book. It also took me two days to write this review, as I was still processing what I had read. THAT, to me, is the mark of a 5 star book :)

A amazing roller coaster of a ride that you won't want to get off . With characters you will love and hate in equal measures .

Imagine if your DNA held the secret to your ideal partner? The world has divided into those lucky enough to have a match and those who are still having to use the old-fashioned approaches. The author has partitioned the action among a few different characters until the whole premise is put into question. Dark and amusing and a good read.

This book was bloody brilliant and i loved it - can you tell!
If you had the chance to take a DNA test to find your perfect match - well would you? Or do you think it should be left to fate? That's the question the people in this book face.
Initially you are introduced to a few characters who are all telling their own story - i was worried there were too many people to keep tabs on but that definitely was not the case. Some of these people are in relationships, some are single and some just had other plans. We follow these 5 folk as they follow there own route to finding their perfect match. This however is no love story! This may be about dating but it is so much more - it is a gripping read and i really cannot tell you why. You must must read it!!!!
