Thank you to NetGalley and G. P. Putnam's Sons for the advanced copy for review. The One is written like a behind the scenes season of The Bachelor. One guy and a ton of girls all vying for his affection. The MC is one of the girls, Emily, who is on the show because she was seen on the street by her producer. She's tapped as being the one to make it to the proposal and beyond. But when her feelings for another contestant start to take over she has to decide what she really wants. I did really enjoy this book. I liked the story and the premise. I liked the way it was written. The one thing that brought it down for me was that the MC was so boring. Like she had no personality when I read her on the page. The author tried with one scene when she's making some toast, but honestly that scene and her inner monologue/fantasy was just weird to me. It didn't kill the whole vibe of the book, but she was pretty boring and emotionless. Other than that, like I said, I did enjoy the book. I liked being behind the scenes of the show and seeing how the different personalities interacted. I would bet it's similar to the real thing and how the show manipulates everything to get the show that they know viewers will want to see. I would recommend this if you like The Bachelor.
