The One by John Marrs

5.0

This book was fantastic and really made me think! What was most intriguing to me was how the author helped readers develop empathy for characters they may not have done (Christopher) and how accountability and reckoning was developed for characters like Ellie. I loved how the author really went into all the intricacies of what a society would look like if we really could be paired with “The One”- absolutely fascinating and enthralling.  I really loved the comparison of the book to the Black Mirror series and think that’s incredibly apt. Highly recommend and would read more from the author. Now I can’t wait to watch the series!
