How far would you go to find The One?

A simple DNA test is all it takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you’ll be matched with your perfect partner—the one you’re genetically made for.

That’s the promise made by Match Your DNA. A decade ago, the company announced that they had found the gene that pairs each of us with our soul mate. Since then, millions of people around the world have been matched. But the discovery has its downsides: test results have led to the breakup of countless relationships and upended the traditional ideas of dating, romance and love.

Now five very different people have received the notification that they’ve been “Matched.” They’re each about to meet their one true love. But “happily ever after” isn’t guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking than others…

A word-of-mouth hit in the United Kingdom, The One is a fascinating novel that shows how even the simplest discoveries can have complicated consequences.

I am very picky about books as the Outlander series is my favorite. This is not even remotely the same genre but the thought to story telling and detail is fantastic. Story has a great pace and narration was really quite good. Not a 'all tied prettily in a bow' type ending, but some happy, some not. My only complaint is although author leaves out politics altogether in the story, the 'psychopath ' killer had novels and true stories of serial killers on his bookshelf along with one addition, The Life of Donald Trump. 🙄 Really? Unnecessary and childish. But I can get past that to enjoy the book. Well written, well paced, suspenseful and good character development.

Unexpected but fantastic!

If you are like me you read books for the story, well this is like 5 different books in one... every story is engaging and ends EVERY chapter wanting more... even tho a couple of the story endings I predicted correctly , but how they got there was soooo satisfying...

I usually only listen to books on my way back and forth to work (an hour drive both ways) but I could stop listening I had to know what happened next at all times...

Only bad thing about this book is that it has to end, can’t wait to see it on Netflix soon... must read***

Perfect Audio Book

This story was truly captivating.

I LOVE the premise and the exploration of it. I kind of wish it wasn't over. I want even more of this world where love is found through DNA matches.

I am so glad there were so many perspectives. If there were less then this book wouldn't have felt as well rounded.

I Want More.
