The One is the final book in “The Selection Trilogy” by Kiera Cass, made up of The Selection, The Elite, and The One, with a follow-up series (Book One is The Heir, and it was released not long ago). You may be thinking that I had really mixed feelings about this book, and you would be correct. I’ll come back to that discussion in a bit. An alternate title for this review would be “YA Book Review: The One, or, That Time I Wished the Book I Was Reading Was More About the Political Intrigue in the Background and Less About the Characters,” but that was too long of a title to fit on the title block. ![]()
