John Marrs has done it again! The Family Experiment is in the same world as his previous books, The One, The Passengers, and The Marriage Act. He ties them together so perfectly. I really enjoyed this one, felt close to home, being a first-time mom. I love how his characters all have shady pasts, and you're always trying to figure out what their deal is, and why they want a meta child! Marrs gives a lot of twists that had my actual jaw-dropping and saying.... did I read that right?? He also makes you feel sad for humanity if we are headed into this dystopian future. His description of the meta verse is crazy!! I think this is one of my top favourites of his!!
