The One 

The stories of many people and their relationships as a result of a DNA matching app 

Every character is complex, and some are plain out awful while others are just annoying. It is interesting to read, but it's also incredibly difficult to sympathize with them, as they all make such stupid or evil choices. If any of the characters had been actually good people, it would have been more enjoyable to read. However, it was still incredibly thrilling and interesting 

I also found the endings to be unique. Some were happy, some less so, but all conclusive. 

PG 13+ for gore, murder, and more
