Surprisingly this was better than the second one. Honestly completely skip the second one and you won’t miss anything. The beginning of this book was pretty boring and as per the other books has a lot of racism classicism and sexism baked into it. However toward the end we get some girls supporting girls moments and the ending is truly wild 10/10 great ending. Also loved when America’s sister finally called her out for stringing two guys along, it’s what ever reader is thinking. But the ending is wow truly a mess of absolute wild events. I fully felt the shock of reading it yet again. A true plot twist resolving the whole plot. idk why there are two more books but i guess we’ll see
fr what was 2014 me on about tho 😂

The One is definitely a more politically heavy book, but it doesn’t diverge too much from the original love story

I wish this wasn't the end of America and Maxon's love story and that books 4 and 5 were mainly about them as well, but I am happy with the ending of it. I do feel like the twist at the end felt a little rushed and I wish the book had continued for another 100-150 pages so the wrap up was smoother.

Good end to a nice story. As long as you take it for what it is, a classic YA dystopian, it's a really good time.

I enjoyed the political bits, but that's it. I enjoyed Celeste's redemption arc more than America's character and lack of thought. I also hated that Aspen calls Anne 'rigid'-I know it probably wasn't meant this way but it seems to imply that she has to be open and sweet and stereotypically nice all the time.
