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.

Captivating!

This book is outside of my go to genres but I needed to change things up. Wow! So glad I did! The story was interesting and got better with each listen. When I thought I’d figured out the plot, it changed again. It was fascinating! Narration was terrific and I’m usually quite picky with narration, it can easily ruin a book for me. Definitely recommend this one.

very well done

Really enjoyed this story and the voice actors were great (I'm very picky about the voice actors). I find the book much more interesting than the show. Good twists and turns and a really neat concept.

Loved this book!!!!!

10/10! It was like an episode of black mirror. I can’t say enough about this book. I finished it so quickly, I wish there was more. Amazing!

Slow start but interesting after

It took me about 2 hours to start getting into this book. But it got interesting after that.

Page turner

At first I thought the story was going to be cheesy, but it proved me wrong. It gets better and better after every page, and the voices and the acting made the story even better. 10/10

Fascinating

This was a fascinating story! I didn't think I'd like the whole only 1 person that you're made for aspect, but there's so much more that goes on in the story, and a lot of variations and twists that I never could have thought of. I even enjoyed the multiple narrators, which I don't normally. they were all excellent 🙂

Amazing story, but sometimes graphic

I loved the majority of this story, but a certain scene went too far for me. The performers made it feel like you were actually listening to each characters story.

Thrilling!

Suspend disbelief and be ready to be gripped by stories of what happens to lives after they have been matched as compatible by a foolproof DNA test.

This novel has more elements of a thriller than a romance with the completely gripping stories of a handful of people, the emotional impact of both truth and deceit.

Narration was so good, especially those who voiced Jade and Mandy.
