Description
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 are 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.

От прямо натягнута 4. Я б поставив 3, але сюжет був дійсно унікальним. І це напевно єдине, що було цікаве в цій книзі. Чи були персонажі, яким я співпереживав? Ні. Чи були історії які мені здались цікавими —так. Проте автор зробив так, що до кінця книги, мені вже було однаково чим воно все скінчиться. Ідея — це єдине хороше, що я зміг знайти в цій книзі
Понравилось очень-очень!!! Читала и днем, а не только перед сном. Концовка может быть и не супер, но жаль, что у автора нет пока других книг!
Scientists have discovered a gene that each person shares with only one single other person on the earth- their soulmate. Through a simple DNA test, you can be matched to your perfect partner. With a 100% success rate, what’s to lose?? Five people who have just been matched find out how love isn’t as simple as the science. What happens when your match lives across the world? Is much older/younger? Is dead? Is a psychopath serial killer?I throughly enjoyed every aspect of this book! The whole concept, the characters, all the different relationship dynamics, the entire wild journey it takes you on…. It was all fantastic and very thought-provoking. Just how much would you risk if you thought someone was your only chance at real true love? How much would you overlook? I like that the book digs into how this discovery has completely changed the trajectory of traditional dating/marriage/divorce/sexual relationships both positively and negatively and confronted any of the real life ramifications you can think of with someone like this. I love that it took time to really flesh out the science behind it, too. Chapters alternate between all 5 character’s POV. There wasn’t a single storyline I wasn’t invested in and I never anticipated all the twists and turns as each “love story” unfolded. Some of it was a little outlandish and there was some hard/gruesome parts to read but it worked for this story. This is a book I’ll be thinking about for awhile!
