Okay, so this is now my favourite read so far!

I love fast-paced books and this was rapid!

At first I was worried with the number of characters and their stories, but very quickly you pick it up. 

My jaw hit the floor with Ellie and Tim's story and Mandys story with Pat and Chloe. I had to turn my kindle off for 5 minutes and have a breather. 

Thank you John Marrs!

Another near future page turner by John Marrs. There were a lot of characters which worried me at the start, but they each formed part of their own little story and didn't cross over so was easy enough to follow. Basically a book following a number of independent situations all stemming from the same start point of this dating app. Fun quick read.
