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.

    Hands down one of the best books I’ve read! Literally could not put it down. Feeling a bit sad I can’t reread it for the first time. I’m recommending it to friends and purchased a few extra books to have it on hand in my library and one to lend out.
  • Not much depth

    Written so simply. Characters and plot are quite boring. I can’t believe I believed someone on tik tok that said it was a 6-star read! Wish I could get a refund. Couldn’t even read much of it.
  • Kept me guessing!

    From the first page I felt something eerie and weird was going on but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Nothing in this book was expected and it toyed with my emotions in such a subtle way which i think is the sign of a remarkable thriller.
  • Unique!

    4.5 stars! I had fun with this one. This was absolutely a roller coaster of a ride, and I was always left surprised at each chapter end. The writing style certainly kept the pages turning and the various different perspectives kept me on the edge of my seat. I will absolutely pick up another book from this author!
  • Intriguing
