The One by John Marrs

Hello everyone. Hope it's been a good day so far.

Do you have some great story about how you met your spouse? Was it super romantic, like something out of a movie?  I met my husband in college. We met in.....ready....ready...in cost accounting class.  Ooooo, sexy. Nothing will make you swoon like debits and credits. Nothing says love like "cost of goods sold". I tease, but am grateful that for whatever reason we were brought together and have been together for decades. What if something had changed?  What if we weren't both in that class, or were in a different school? Would there have been someone else?  Are we destined to have a soulmate or are you compatible with many people?

I recently read, The One by John Marrs. This thriller addresses the issue of a soulmate. A piece of dna has been discovered that can be matched to the person you were meant to be with. It discusses the trouble that match would cause if you were already married to someone else, someone you loved but they weren't The One. Or what if the one was the same sex, but you were heterosexual? What if your match is a horrible person or just lives on the other side of the planet?  This story follows several people and asks some of these questions and more. With each new and old couple we see how this match can ruin their past or possibly make a delightful future. It is well written, fast paced and will sending you thinking of things you've never considered. What would you do? 

For me, I'd kick hubby to the curb in a second. Just kidding, I guess. (Gotta keep him in line in case he reads this.)
