Description
But for those desperate to experience parenthood, there is an alternative. For a monthly subscription fee, clients can create a virtual child from scratch who they can access via the metaverse and a VR headset. To launch this new initiative, the company behind Virtual Children has created a reality tv show. It will follow ten couples as they raise a Virtual Child from birth to the age of eighteen but in a condensed nine-month time period. The prize: the right to keep their virtual child or risk it all for the chance of a real baby . . .
Set in the same universe as John Marrs's bestselling novel The One and The Marriage Act, The Family Experiment is a dark and twisted thriller about the ultimate 'tamagotchi' - a virtual baby.

I loved “The One” by John Marrs, which is why my standards and expectations might’ve been too high. “The Family Experiment” was such a fun concept, especially the Reality TV aspect of it. I just feel like it was overly descriptive when it didn’t need to be, in the sense that not much was left to the reader’s imagination. On top of that, I had problems telling the contestants apart for the first half. I really liked the pacing and the ending, though.
