How Far Would You Go to Find the One?
A simple DNA test is all it takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you'll be matched with your perfect partner - the one you're genetically made for.
That's the promise made by Match Your DNA. A decade ago, the company announced that they had found the gene that pairs each of us with our soul mate. Since then, millions of people around the world have been Matched. But the discovery has its downsides: test results have led to the breakup of countless previously secure relationships, and shattered traditional ideas of dating, romance and love.
Now five very different people have received the notification that they've been Matched. They're each about to meet their one true love. But 'happily ever after' isn't guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking than others...
With over 3000 5* reviews, this is what real readers are saying about this addictive, page-turning high concept thriller:
'I just couldn't stop reading'
'Brilliant twists that I didn't see coming'
'One of the most gripping stories I've read for a long while'
'I was hooked and didn't want it to end'
(Note: Previously published as A Thousand Small Explosions)
