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.

Brilliant read

Really did not expect to love this this much or for it to carry such a punch! Honestly, there’s so much explored with many characters in one book and instead of feeling like too much, it’s perfect. 5/5 absolutely loved this, and can’t wait for the adaptation!

a wild ride ..

this was a wild ride 👏🏻😍, it was thrilling alright.
it's started interesting and kept going up up up , with each chapter ending on a cliffhanger and a plot twist after another I didn't want to put it down, I only wished I cared more for the characters to make it as heart juicing as I usually like.

Enjoyable.... just wish I could change narrators

This was an enjoyable book . And while some stories appealed to me more than others, overall it was well written with a few twists thrown in for good measure. Would definitely recommend overall.
My only pet peeve was the narrator for Nick’s story. The best narrators find a way to convey emotion or distinguish voices without lowering the volume .... unfortunately this guy hasn’t taken that course!! I hate the constant need to turn the volume up and down, rewind and repeat sections because he can’t figure it out! Very frustrating.

Super entertaining

I was hooked right away and wanted to hear how these relationships would work out. The narration was top notch - and the story moved nicely, with lots of chapter cliff hangers.

Loved it

Great story with twists and turns kept surprising me ...loved it! Narrators were fabulous and believable.
