Well....this was a quirky little story.
Imagine a world, somewhere in the future where there is a DNA test available for you to search out and meet your soul mate! Not so hard to imagine in today's world.
The book follows the stories of several couples and the extraordinary circumstances they find themselves in when they choose to take the test, and the after affects that choice has on their lives. Throw a serial killer into the mix and now we've got ourselves a tale!
Maybe not the most literary spectacular writing ever, but it kept me well entertained and curious right until the end. It was a great little summer read and just what I was craving for the summer.

There is a gene in everyone's DNA that can identify who your one and only mate is... the one you are meant to spend your whole life with. This is according to the book "The One". It is a crazy idea that makes up a story about the experience of a half dozen "matches" every one ending in unexpected and usually unhappy ways.
I didn't think it was a very good book but I couldn't help wanting to keep on reading to see what happens to each of the DNA Matched characters. I don't know how this book came to my attention especially since it was not listed in Goodreads despite the fact that I was able to borrow a copy from our library.
