The One

To save their marriage, Sloane must forgive her husband's affair. Instead, she tries a more tempting option-settling the score. But will it prove to be a deadly mistake?


ER doctor Sloane Marks is shattered when she learns her husband Ethan slept with his partner at Seattle Homicide. She considers leaving him and joining The One, having gone to college with the popular dating app's billionaire founder, Brody Carr. But at forty-two, Sloane feels she has no choice but to forgive Ethan if she wants a chance at creating the family she never had.


Months later, Sloane bumps into Brody, who's recently returned to Seattle. In due time, Ethan worries she's cheating. His suspicions are confirmed when he learns the rich app founder took Sloane on a freediving excursion in the San Juan Islands. Soon after, Brody's famous wife dies in an accident. Ethan becomes the lead investigator in her death, which he suspects wasn't at accident at all.


Caught between a distrusting husband and a powerful billionaire who protects his secrets at all costs, Sloane is in a fight for her life. And the only way out is to take matters into her own hands.

The individual stories seemed to lack some depth that made it feel like the book was dragging on. I think he could have cut the stories much shorter in the front end, had the major twist happen slightly earlier and spent a good portion of the back end resolving the fall out. Instead it was like all of the excitement was built into the end and left me wanting to know more (but not in a good way?). **Came back to lower my rating to a 4 after seeing the author’s suggested discussion questions. They confirmed, for me, that he had no point of view.

Not my usual genre but it kept me engaged throughout the entire book. Some twists were predictable but some caught you completely off. Wonderful choice and can’t wait to discuss.

This was such a good read! I loved the super short chapters as it made it easier to get through the book and all the different story lines were great. Every single chapter there was something going on and I was hooked.

I really enjoyed this book. It had everything in it and it was set in the UK (and a couple other places). I can’t say I loved all the characters but wow their stories were so fascinating to follow. The writing kept me on the edge of my seat even when it felt like there was no where to go. Then all of a sudden every story had a twist and my mind exploded. This book explores such an interesting concept that I don’t think our society could even handle !
