What if a cheek swab could tell you who you’re meant to be with forever—then wreck your life instead?
The One is about Match Your DNA, a sci-fi app that guarantees to find your genetic soulmate. Five people receive their perfect match, but love isn’t always picture-perfect.
From Mandy, a divorcee hoping for a family again, to Jade, who chases her match across continents, to Nick and Sally whose relationship fractures when Nick matches with someone else. One storyline even follows Christopher, a serial killer who falls dangerously in love with his match. And then there’s Ellie, the app’s creator, whose own perfect future starts to unravel in ways no algorithm can predict.
Why you’ll love it: A fast-rolling, bingeable read with short POV chapters and climactic twists. It feels like Black Mirror meets Big Little Lies: sleek, speculative, and deeply human, all while questioning if fate can ever be engineered.
📖 Condition: Trade paperback, clean interior, light shelf wear—great for a beach read or quiet binge session.
