If you could swab your DNA to find your soul mate, The One you’re meant to be with, would you?
In this novel, the world is split in two: those that are happily matched and those still waiting. Couples are torn apart as they match with others, the non-matched are seen as outcasts, and traditional love is no longer traditional.
The One follows the stories of five very different people—Mandy, Ellie, Nick, Christopher, and Jade—as they meet their newly matched soul mates. Some find true love, some find something else. How far would you go to fall in love?
This was definitely a page-turner and the fact that almost every chapter ended with a cliffhanger helped. It was a psychological thriller unlike anything I’ve ever read before. A quick, fascinating read!
