Listened to audiobook for this. Started it on a Friday night and was finished by Monday morning before work! The story focuses on 5 main characters who find out who their soulmate or match is. I'm a sucker for British accents so I enjoyed the narrators. I found myself so interested in the storyline for each character that I was disappointed when I had to stop listening and tend to other things (like sleep for instance).  When I can't put a book down, or stop listening to a book, automatic 5 star rating for me. I am looking forward to discussing this book with others as there will be some great conversation regarding ethical issues as well as talking about the ins and outs of the characters. This would be a great book club read.
