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.

I would have given it 5 stars, but the narrator reading the Nick chapters was difficult to listen to. He had a sing-songy, arrogant type of delivery that was at adds with the character and made it challenging to get into that story line.

Good Overall

Loved all the narration and story lines of all the characters. Lots of twists and turns to keep me interested and I likes the resolution of all the characters stories.

An interesting premise that’s pulls at your heart’s desire: finding and falling for the one. But this isn’t a happily-ever-after story—it’s one filled with twists (some predictable) that you want to hear unravel to their very end. With relatable characters, a compelling plot, and great narration that leaves you wondering if you’d take such a test and how you’d react in each situation, I couldn’t stop listening and didn’t want this book to end.

Looking forward to the TV show

Really cool premise - characters are all well developed and interesting. I was looking for something different and this was suspenseful and fun. I usually have the twists figured out but this one kept surprising me all along the way.

The Netflix series is not a spoiler - it uses the premise but not the actual storylines. Highly recommend the book!

Great story - kept surprising me

Some of the characters’ stories were far more riveting than others. The narration was good and I appreciated that they used a separate narrator for each main character. Aside from the sci-fi premise, there were a few unbelievable things in each story that kinda made you roll your eyes but it was a good listen and made me want to keep my AirPods in for more.

Overall a good listen

While this one had a bit of a slow start for me, it’s originality and thought-provoking plot was worth my patience and my credit

Unique and original…

The multiple story lines at first were a little confusing and tough to keep up with. However, once you get past that, the story is very good. Multiple plots playing out at the same time. So glad I keep listening because it got very good and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next!

Hang In, Slow Start Keeping Up With Multiple Story Lines
