A Wall Street Journal Best Science Fiction Book of 2018

“Just try to put this gripping thriller down once you pick it up.”—AARP

“A shock on every other page.”—Wall Street Journal

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.

Pretty good listen

This book was a decent listen and was filled with some quality twists. I also thought the concept of the novel was quite intriguing but it took me awhile to get into it. The start was quite slow, and as for the character development I didn’t really find myself to attached till like chapter 50. With all that said the ending was kind of dark which I was a decent fan of.

Pretty good!

This book was amazing to listen to. It grips you and leaves you with cliff hangers. I wish the ending was a bit more colorful and more detailed, nonetheless, definetly worth listening to!

Great book

I based listening to this book on reviews and it was totally worth it. The narrators were easy to follow, the storylines kept me interested and wanting more. It was different from a lot of the books I have read but would highly recommend it!
