    💭

    Usually I’m a big fan of multiple POVs and short chapters but the amount of POVs in this book made it hard to get into.

    At the start it was slow and some of the characters’ storyline were not as engaging as others so I found myself skipping through some bits. Parts of the book also came off as predictable. It all wrapped up pretty quickly at the end too.

    The concept of “Match your DNA” kept me reading. I find it really interesting and wonder how it play out if this idea this took place in real life. It’s almost like a placebo effect, if you’ve been told to believe something is true then it simply is.

    After watching the show first I think I would definitely recommend it to others just to see the differences in how it’s played out.

    I just watched soulmates on Netflix but didn’t it was based on this book. Hope the story is a little different from the show otherwise I already know what’s gonna happen 😣

    Switching to the Audiobook

    These new characters and POV'S are making it so hard for me to get into the story. I cant bring myself to sit down and read this book AT ALL. So im switching to the audiobook in hopes of getting through the beginning and immersing myself back into the story 😅

    phew well that was wild ride. Not normally a fan of so many pop culture references in books but I think it works well in this book. The writing was definitely my kinda vibe and it was quite entertaining to see how the author alluded to things happening in the world rn.
