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.

The One by John Marrs is an incredibly engaging read! The concept of finding your perfect match through a DNA test is fascinating, and the book keeps you hooked with its unpredictable twists and turns. I loved how the different characters' stories were interwoven, each revealing the darker side of human nature and relationships. The blend of sci-fi, romance, and psychological suspense made it hard to put down. If you're into thought-provoking thrillers with a unique premise, this book is a must-read!
This is a book where you will have to suspend your belief. Just go with it and you won't be sorry as you read about what sounds like a great idea - what if there was a way to discover who your soulmate was thru dna?
A bunch of singles signed up. But so did married people who wanted to see if their chosen partner was scientifically their perfect match. What if it matches you with a criminal?! And you can see where a good idea can go bad. Right quick.
This is an ensemble story about six people and how "The One" worked out for them. A quick and gripping read. It's the perfect beach read that will prompt lots of conversation. Very entertaining.
(Side note: the TV Series has little to do with the book it's based on)
I really enjoyed this book because I could see something like this actually happening. The topic and outcomes is very controversial and I would be interested discussing this in a book club.
