3.5/5 I really liked the idea of the story and was excited to read this book. The pace of the book and the short chapters with cliffhangers at the end made it easy to read chapter after chapter. But the 5 POVs were to many for my taste. None of the storys were as defined as they should've been for the plots and character development to really make sense. I didn't care for any of the characters to be honest. Still a fun read tho, but sometimes a bit cringy and the dialog wasn't believable at some parts. And I didn't have that thriller feeling while reading it. Maybe with Christopher and ellies POVs, but with the others not so much.

I enjoyed this thriller a lot, but compared to The Passengers by the author, I wasn't as hooked with The One, and my reading experience wasn't as intense. I felt like some character storylines were a lot more interesting than others, so I felt myself skipping through certain povs (as opposed to The Passengers, where each pov interested me, and I was able to relate and emphasize with all characters). I did enjoy the Netflix series and I love how it offers a completely new story, so that us readers will be surprised by the show, too.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved this. There are 5 different people with their story’s alternating over the course of the whole book. Every chapter is only 3-6 pages I would say and every chapter is interesting and thrilling. I really loved that I couldn’t tell if this was a kind of utopis or dystopia until the very end (still not quite sure to be honest). It’s really fun to read and also Leads you to think a lot. It was great
