My Review:
The One is a sweet, romantic and emotional book that I really enjoyed. It’s told in two timelines one following Lottie after the accident as she deals with her grief and the other flashing back to how the couple met and their families reaction to their meeting.
Firstly I thought Lottie was a fantastic main character who I warmed to quickly. It was heartbreaking to see her struggling to deal with her grief and crushed dreams as to where the relationship could have gone. The scenes at the funeral were very poignant and I thought it was heartbreaking to read about her standing alone on the sidelines as she didn’t know anyone. I wanted to reach into the book and give her a huge hug.
This book deals with some quite difficult subjects but somehow manages to be uplifting rather than sad which I thought was cleverly done. It’s a book about finding yourself and I found it fascinating to go on the journey alongside Lottie. It was interesting to see other people’s reactions to her grief that some understood it and wanted to help her through it, while some were surprised by it and didn’t know what to do with it as she hadn’t known Leo very well.
Overall I really enjoyed this book which I managed to race through in a few days. I was sorry to leave Lottie behind as I has grown very fond of her and I’ve kept thinking about the story long after I’ve finished reading it. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Huge thanks to the lovely Sara Jade for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
