The One by John Marrs

 The One


Author: John Marrs
Rating: 4.5⭐
Genre: Thriller

Review:
Oh my gosh, this book blew my mind! To put it simply, this book was unlike anything I've ever read before. The way John Marrs wrote this book made it so engaging and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved how many different point of views there were (even if I got confused at times) and how each story was so different and unique from the rest. I will say that the plot was very odd, but it worked because it grabbed my attention. John Marrs came up with a very unique idea that sort of grasped at the question of soulmates. It was told in a very eerily realistic way and definitely felt like I was there in that dystopia world with them. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and may possibly bump it up to 5 stars if I continue to think about it! I recommend if you are looking for an eerie thriller that isn't too scary but definitely realistic. It really demonstrated how the world can make its own mistakes, and keep making them.

Synopsis:
A simple DNA test is all it takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you'll be matched with your perfect partner--the one you're genetically made for.

That's the promise made by Match Your DNA. A decade ago, the company announced that they had found the gene that pairs each of us with our soul mate. Since then, millions of people around the world have been matched. But the discovery has its downsides: test results have led to the breakup of countless relationships and upended the traditional ideas of dating, romance, and love.

Now five very different people have received the notification that they've been "Matched". They're each about to meet their one true love. But "happily ever after" isn't guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking than others.

Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen

  Lunar Love Author:  Lauren Kung Jessen Rating: 4⭐ Genre:  Romance Review: I really enjoyed this book for a variety of reasons. If you're looking for a quick and cute romance read, I'd highly recommend this; but, if you're looking for something that's a bit more unique and engaging, I'd choose a different read. I'm not saying that this book wasn't unique though; learning about the Chinese zodiac signs and culture was very interesting and new. I also loved the amount of character development that there was for the main character, Olivia. She learned a lot and grew in so many ways as a matchmaker learning about love for herself. There really wasn't anything wrong with this book, but there wasn't anything super special either. I finished it pretty quickly and it was just an easy read. Overall, I would recommend this book for a quick romance read (maybe in between some heavier books) but it wasn't as great as the potential held. Synopsis:  Always a ...

  The Unhoneymooners Author: Christina Lauren Rating: 4.5⭐ Genre: Romance (fake dating, enemies to lovers) Review: I really, really liked this one! Christina Lauren gets it every time, and this one was just so sweet and heartwarming. There was drama, conflict, misunderstandings, and I was so in it every step of the way. I adored this book SO much and if I continue to think about it more, I might bump it up to 5 stars. This book definitely had me laughing out loud and the character development and dynamic was just amazing. It was very similar to People We Met on Vacation by Emily Henry (which I rated 5 stars) so if you enjoyed that one, you need to pick this one up! Overall, amazing read and I just loved it so much! Synopsis: Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. By contrast, her sister, Ami, is an eternal champion...she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew o...

When in Rome by Sarah Adams

When in Rome Author: Sarah Adams Rating: 4.5 ⭐ Genre: Romance (small-town) Review: Sarah Adams has become one of my favorite authors. However, going with the idea that this book would be similar to The Cheat Sheet --which I rated 5 stars--was not the right way to go. I almost felt like this book was a little too fictional, but it was still good. This book was a modern retelling of Roman Holiday , starring Audrey Hepburn. I haven't seen the movie, so I really didn't know what to expect. Noah and Amelia's banter was so cute, and I adored them as a couple. Amelia is a lost pop star; she doesn't want to go back to reality so she escapes to Rome, Kentucky and stays there for awhile. I personally don't enjoy the pop star genre as much as others, so that didn't help. Noah and Amelia also gave off grumpy x sunshine at multiple points and it reminded me a bit of Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score. If you liked that book, you'd probably like this. Those were the o...
