I really enjoyed this but, strangely, it seemed almost comedic in parts. Imagine a world where you could be matched with your one true love by DNA matching. No more guesswork, no more trial and error. Foolproof, right?
This book follows the fortunes of a bunch of people who have been matched and describes some of the ways this utopian vision can turn into a nightmare. Its not all 'happily ever after' here although some couples do make it.
In today's tech heavy world I guess the total reliance on technology to determine our lives has ample scope to backfire and I think this is what the move was trying to say. The result is a series of vignette-like stories that are uplifting, sad, horrifying or depressing. And although I don't think it was intentional I also found some moments of humour here (maybe I'm just twisted).
I really enjoyed this novel take on the dating game. Would you dare?

Pat, now that you mentioned it, I can see the humor in parts. I am glad I read, too. I don't know if I would take such a test as it seems such an invasion of privacy and takes away the mystery (angst or pleasure) of dating if you are predestined with a match.

It was entertaining!!
That it was. Goodness it looks like a lot of my older reviews are suddenly circulating again 😳
I've been known to necro-comment, like now, when I've just read this book for the first time. 😁 Anyway, I agree, I felt like there was a humorous aspect to this book, too.
