The One

Date: September 24, 2025

Author: John Marrs

Genre: science fiction, psychological thriller

The world in this book depicts a life in which a person can find their perfect Match, absolute, true love. All by simply swabbing your mouth and sending in your DNA to be Matched with your perfect mate. Being Matched was free. But for the low price of £9.99 you could also meet your Match.

But is it possible it’s not as accurate and trustworthy as everyone believes?

So much of this process was dependent on files saved in the Match server. Is it possible that the server could be hacked? People being matched with people that should never meet?

One example the book gave was a psychopath serial killer being Matched with a police officer that was investigating his crimes. That was an entertaining take on how opposites attract.

What about for people that identify as heterosexual to be Matched with a partner of the same gender? They scoffed at first but found fireworks and fizzy hearts when they looked into each other’s eyes.

Another scenario was a woman who was Matched with a sexy adventurous type that had a loving family whom she met for the first time at his celebration of life ceremony. Although they couldn’t be together in this lifetime is it possible that she could get ahold of a frozen sample being held at the local sperm bank? And if so would she really go so far as to have his baby from beyond the grave?

This book has all this and more!
