Review of 'The One' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars

I can certainly see why its so popular. I wouldn't call it SciFi though. The initial premise might be, and it is forward/present looking, but thats as close to science fiction as it gets.
I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up from the library on a complete whim. It sounded cool, and I thought I remember the premise on netflix (I later did learn that yes, it is a series).

If anything I could have done with one less character, just so the rest got more fleshed out, but honestly I wouldn't want to nix any of them, I liked all of them.
