It has been some time, since I have read a book cover to cover in a day, a working day (no less). This says a lot!
Why did I pick it up?
I picked this book up because of all of the 5 star reviews. I wanted to know if this book lived up to the hype.
Describe the book in 5 words
Page-Turning, Intriguing, Heartwarming , Gripping and Steamy
Who would LOVE The One
I think this book would appeal to most, especially those who love modern day romance stories.
Thoughts
It hard for me to put into words but reading this book felt, as though I was sitting in the room with one of my best friends and she was telling me her story.
The storyline unfolded naturally. I am unsure of whether this book is classified in the romance genre, but when I think of a romance novel this is a storyline, I would think of. The love scene is not raunchy, but one in that it capture your heart strings and make you feel a stir in places (maybe only me). The setting of the storyline being on a dating reality show felt very modern.
All in all, I truly enjoyed this novel. Five stars for me.

The One
This book got me out of a book slump and I am forever grateful for Danielle Allen and her words.
My heart was going through all the motions. The love, the heartache, the tension—just EVERYTHING.
It’s no surprise, but Zoe is a strong heroine that is absolutely everything you want to be. She is strong, independent, stands in her truth, sticks up for what’s right, but also has that fear of showing vulnerability or being vulnerable. I felt that in my soul. Danielle writes some of the best heroines I’ve ever read.
She also writes some of the best heroes. Julian was everything. The things he would say, the way he would make Zoe feel, and the passion he showed was just so *chefs kiss*
This was a fun and beautiful read. 10000000/10 recommend

I haven't read too much by this author, but after reading this book I will be checking out her other books. This book is similar in format to others I have read, but the author manages to turn the story on its head and give the reader something a little different.
The story is written well, and the characterisation is spot on. With the theme of a reality television programme we get all sorts of people involved. There's obviously the bitchy people, as there are in all walks of life, who appear a lot larger than life when in front of the cameras. There are those who appear innocent enough until the cameras roll. Then there are those who find themselves struggling with things they didn't foresee.
I enjoyed reading the story and everyone got exactly what they deserved in the end.

The One
The One is a great read! Ms. Allen writes about love with emotion and heart. Julian and Zoe were so intense and I felt the chemistry jump off the pages. Highly recommend this book and others by this talented writer.

This was….. WOW. It is so different from what Danielle Allen usually writes but I wasn’t upset at all. I absolutely loved this book it was all the messiness and sweet romance I needed wrapped in one. And like always Ms. Allen gets another 5 star rating from me.

Cute
I liked this storyline however I would’ve like to read from Julian’s perspective. I was curious to know what he felt throughout the process.

4.5 One thing about me I’m going to eat up a reality tv book. It’s like my two favorite things coming together. This was cute. I loved Julian and Zoe together.
