The One
by
by
The One is a futuristic novel with enough interesting characters to keep you turning the pages, or in my case listening to every chapter.
A discovery has been made. A gene has been found that can tell you who is your soulmate. When you meet the One, you know they are it for you. With Match Your DNA, now anyone can find that special someone who will make your life the happiest.
Yet, not everyone is happy. Match Your DNA has broken marriages and relationships left and right. Then, of course, there are so many questions.
What if your match has decided not to run the test?
What if the person you matched is not morally bound like you are?
What if the test ruins your life?
The One will follow five characters' "love stories" after finding their match.
How could anything go wrong?
John Mars does a wonderful job at making us think about the implications of something like this happening in our time. There is a scene in the book where two characters are debating the pros and cons of Match Your DNA. I thought it brought solid points to the table for both sides.
If you asked me to pick a favorite "match" couple, I will have to go with Nick's match undoubtedly.
I read the next two books in this world and I'm glad I went back to listen to this one. I was happy to follow the characters through each of their personal ordeals and knowing what the future held was a plus.
Cliffhanger: No
4/5 Fangs

From what I hear, the book is by far far better.
Great review, Sheyla! I need to read this one!
Fab review, Sheyla! I'm not loving "The One" quite as much as you did, though. I should be finishing it tomorrow, and I'm trying to not form a final opinion of it until I read the very last page. :)
Fantastic review Sheyla! So glad you loved it too. What a great book this was.
