Review: The One

The One The One by John Marrs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The One by John Marrs is the first book in the Dark Future series.  I read book three first not realizing it was a series.  There were references to this book but not really spoilers.  I feel like you could read them in any order or just as standalones.  

The premise of The One really appealed to me.  A genetic test will reveal who your perfect match is.  That's it.  The test doesn't care about how they look, how old they are, where they are, what their gender identity is.  You can choose to act on the information or ignore it.  It will even cost you less than the current DNA tests available.  It sounds like a no-brainer.  The One follows the stories of several people who interact with the program and what happens to them.  Apparently, being matched with your soulmate isn't always a recipe for happily ever after.  I was engrossed.  This is not full-on dystopian fiction, but it is a bit dark.
