How far would you go to find THE ONE?

This book was AHmaziiiiing! Ever since I read it, I have been recommending it to anyone and everyone who would listen to me 👀😂 now I've heard that Netflix is working on an adaptation and I'm SO Excited again!

The plot: Imagine a world where finding your soul mate is only one mouth swab away.

Over ten years ago, a brilliant scientist has discovered a gene you share with only one other person in the whole world. A quick DNA test will find your perfect partner in no time, the one you are genetically made for. Millions have already taken the test, in hopes of finding true love.

Now, five more people found their Match and the book follows each one of them, as they meet their pair and their story unfolds. But even soul mates have secrets. What if your match is dead? Or a serial killer? Or the same sex as you? How about if he/she is dying? Or they're a fraud?


This book delivers one plot twist after the other in these short, but amazing chapters. Some twists you may guess ahead of time, but others will catch you off guard. My jaw dropped more times than I can count, so it's needles to say that I loved this book and enjoyed every single line in it.

Great writing, great story, great ending!
