Product Information

Soon after Mandy matches with Richard, a personal trainer, she finds out he's dead. She attends his funeral and, after an awkward introduction, meets his mother, Pat, and sister, Chloe. She forms a tight bond with them and, fueled by the loss of her soulmate, agrees to have his baby. Yes, after surviving an illness in his teens, Richard saved his sperm. Y qué decir de Maxon y America! He aquí mis adjetivos para describirlos a ellos y su relación: frustrante, entretenida, tierna, desesperante, ideal, preciosa, frustrante, romántica... ¿ya dije frustrante? Creo que hay pocas parejas literarias con las que haya sufrido tanto como con estos dos. Es decir, desde el primer libro sientes que deben acabar juntos, que pelean, pero que están hechos el uno para el otro. La cosa con ellos es que son terriblemente orgullosos y muy inseguros de lo que siente el uno por el otro, y eso es algo que Kiera Cass sabe explotar al máximo. Tanto así que, incluso cuando faltan 30 páginas para acabar el libro, sigues dudando de si Maxon escogerá a America como ganadora de la Selección. Are you scared?" he asked. "No." "Me neither." But I was pretty sure we were both lying. — Maxon Schreave and America Singer No one will know. And seeing as you were with the prince, I won't ask questions. Whatever you did, I'll trust it was something important." — Anne to America Singer Coles Johnson, Donna Maria (1 November 2013).

As Sophie's review of The One put it: ' Newsflash, Maxy-boy. You already did that when you agreed to the Selection. And throwing a temper tantrum like a little boy is not the way to solve your problems.' With a whole lot of heartbreak. At long last Rebecca (Hannah Ware), the founder and CEO of The One, told her match Matheus (Albano Jeronimo) what happened to her murdered former friend. If you need a refresher, the formula that would turn into the mega-successful company The One was developed by James’ (Dimitri Leonidas) research with ants and Rebecca’s belief that research could translate into soulmates for people. All that they needed was a sample to prove that their theory worked. You want a really substantial psychological thriller - with vivid characters, major reveals, and a whole lot of gripping scenesLas palabras de despedida de Maxon no sólo retumban en la cabeza de Mer, sino que se van a quedar grabadas por siempre en la mía. Algo como "rompe mi corazón. Rómpelo mil veces si quieres. De todas maneras sólo era tuyo para romper". LLORO. You're breaking a lot of rules, Miss Singer." "You're the prince. You can just pardon me." — Maxon Schreave and America Singer The "bad" rebels are actually a threat now. They have infiltrated the castle a gazillion times before, killing some guards only, and now because it's the ending and it's convenient, they are deadlier and they kill off like 5 of the main characters. Wow. I don't know what else to say. I said I wouldn't judge this series harshly, but I can't stand these situations now. They are ridiculous. The first book was very light hearted, reminded me of The Bachelor, cute characters, cute plot, but then it introduced all the politics which made no sense and tried to be a serious series. That's what bothered me. If it stayed a lovey-dovey dystopian series, I wouldn't make this kind of review now, ranting about everything. But now I have to, cause it's pretending to be a serious series. No no no.

Y es que, joder, justo eso pasa cuando America ha vuelto de su casa tras el entierro de su padre y Maxon le ha dicho que no puede vivir sin ella, que la escoge, que se case con él, que sean felices... ES QUE LA BOMBA CAE JUSTO DESPUÉS DE QUE HAN PASADO LA NOCHE JUNTOS Y SEAN LAS ESCENAS MÁS LINDAS DE LA HISTORIA, POR LOS DIOSES. ¡Es que no era justo! Gillian: Do you want to talk about how accidentally sexist this is? And how SPOILER needs a girl he can protect and SPOILER needs a man to shield her and guide her? And how these are held to be very, very good things?

Throughout the series, I never felt like the rebels were truly threats, they never seemed very dangerous. Things changed towards the last half of The One, which I appreciated. By the end of The One Season 1, Rebecca is still acting as the company’s CEO and is planning to take it public. The last time we see her, she’s talking to James. That’s when this series drops the biggest bomb of all. Can Someone Have More Than One Match?

Despite the trouble my OTP had with saying "I love you," the romance was still amazing. It was perfect. It was so adorable and sweet and steamy. I swooned and awwwwed so much in this book. I had a goofy grin on my face basically the whole book. I could gush and fangirl about it forever but I think these quotes sum it up quite nicely:

How is The One series different from the book?

Kate ends the season frustrated. She’s been unable to prove that Rebecca has done anything illegal, she has a partner who won’t stop lying, and slowly she’s becoming convinced that she’s not even Sophia’s only match. This relationship seems doomed, and if there’s a second season we’re likely going to see it crumble. Photo: Netflix How Did it End for Mark and Hannah?

Gillian: I once described this series as being like a deep-fried Oreo, and it's mostly still good. It sounds like a better idea than it is, it has this weirdly addicting, saccharine-sweet junk food quality, and it has zero nutritional value. But then this third book happens and it's... it'sRotenberg, Zorian (14 January 2016). "Book Insights from The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan". Atiim . Retrieved 24 May 2016.
