The One | John Marrs | Book Review

-

What drew me towards the book was its unique concept. A DNA swab test to find out who your ideal match in the entire world is? Now that seems like something. Not to mention, I loved the book! The One by John Marrs follows five people – Mandy, Christopher, Jade, Nick and Ellie, who have been matched with their respective partners through DNA test. But each has their own crazy secrets, and when everything gradually unfolds, you get a nail-biting psychological thriller.



The chapters were short and crisp, and every chapter ended with a cliffhanger so there is just no stopping. I am a fan of any book that promises a good plot twist and this one has a lot of them sprinkled throughout (and really unexpected ones!). So, it was a clear winner for me. The story is narrated from the third person perspective, the writing style is crisp and just enough detailed for you to feel the emotions that the characters intend to convey. I was getting a little confused with the characters towards the beginning with so many names, but a few pages in and that was gone. This one was the definition of a page turner for me as every time a chapter ended in a cliffhanger, I had to read five more perspectives before getting back to that one so it goes without saying that I was flying through the pages.

I loved the ending. It ended exactly the way I wanted it to end (saying more would give out spoilers!). Anyways, I strongly recommend it to all psychological thriller lovers out there. You are in for a wild ride with this one!

My Rating – 5/5

Happy Reading!😇

The Guest List | Lucy Foley | Book Review | Pomspace

A lot of people have compared Foley’s The Guest List to Agatha Christie’s books . While I get the fact that there are similarities, I don’t think a comparison is particularly useful. The book’s extremely atmospheric, with a setting tailor made to host a murder mystery. The isolated island vibes, the grand wedding all set to take place, the dark secrets of people’s lives all add to the fact that while weddings are beautiful affairs, they can be sinister. Jules is getting married to Will in a particularly non-conventional wedding venue in an island off the Irish coast. The place’s breathtakingly stunning. As the guests start arriving the evening before the wedding, you realize that people have secrets deep buried in the past which if surfaced, can mess up everything. The characters all have deep rooted issues involving their own lives, their traumatic pasts. The book is written from the point of view of all these characters, in addition to which, two parallel timelines go on, one on th...

Are Interior Designers The Spatial Visionaries? A Comprehensive Guide On Why You Might Need One

  Design is so simple. That's why it's so complicated. ~ Paul Rand Interior designers are professionals who bridge the gap between a building space and functionality, creativity and utility. While interior designers are closely related to architects, they are quite different still. Architects are majorly concerned with designing the overall design of a building, whereas interior designers work more intimately to convert these man-made spaces into utilitarian entities. Interior designers closely work with clients who have a vision in mind, and they strive to make their vision a reality. Ever since the pandemic hit, with people having to spent so much time at home, they have been eager to build a living space that marks escapism, that provides them comfort and serves as a retreat. The term interior designer has been contemplated. The profession by itself hasn’t been thoroughly established globally yet. In most European countries, where the profession has received recognition,...

  **WARNING: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS** Find what you love and let it kill you. Oh gosh! Where to begin? It felt like Rebecca meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo . And that is a combination I am up for any day. Okay let me start by saying that that was dark. Really dark and disturbing. So, if you are someone who is uncomfortable with reading infant harm, child murder or explicitly triggering scenes, then here is a warning for you. Now that said, let’s begin. The book begins with Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer, heading for a meeting that’ll supposedly lead to a great career opportunity, when she witnesses a tragic accident in which a truck crushes the skull of a man. Lowen is still processing the gruesomeness of the incident when she meets Jeremy, who turns out is headed to the same meeting as her. Lowen gets an offer to finish the last three books in a series written by Verity Crawford. After expressing initial disinterest, Lowen decides to accept the offer. W...
