Chloe Gamble is still a star in Hollywood. She is from a little town in Texas with an achoholic mom and a deadbeat dad. She, her brother, and her mom and traveled to Hollywood to make a living with Chloe as an actress. Chloe has an amazing agent, stylish, and lawyer and an offer in a new hit movie. She accepts but she already has a contract with the Snap network for a t.v. series. Chloe get's to do both the movie and the show. She has a grown-up role and starts partying with Harlan Reed, a gorgeous actor who has a sex scene with Chloe's character. Chloe starts partying with Harlan and his friends and get's into drugs and drinking and starts to overdose. Chloe ruins her carrer and goes to rehab. But she pulls herself together and sings a song on youtube (which made her popular in the first place) and then the book ends, making you think she will become a star again.

I loved this book. It was very exciting. It also has teen content. I didn't know this when I started the series but they are so good. Also I'm in middle school so I hear about this kind of stuff everyday. I didn't like it when Chloe got into drugs because she started acting bad and not at all like herself. I also liked how the story was told from some different points of view. Overall I really liked this book.… (meer)

Summary: Chloe Gamble always has an aura of charisma and gets what she wants. But can she work her magic in Hollywood?

She’s been winning beauty pageants and providing for her family all these years. But after catching her father in the act, flirting with a girl about a year or two older than she, Chloe decides it’s time the small town to move to LA to leave with her mother and twin brother, Travis, in tow. Who else was going to decide, her mother?

And so the adventures begin. From finding the proper photographer, stylist, agent, and publicist, Chloe embarks on a true Hollywood scandal. One that leaves her on the blacklist and infamous throughout the city. But that’s not to stop Chloe Gamble to getting what she wants.

Review: The One was like a huge scandal that you read everywhere—in the tabloids, or on television. Full of excitement, and Texas drawl, The One took less than three hours to read.

What I love the most about The One was the three various points of view. We had Nika May, Chloe’s agent, Travis’s emails, and of course Chloe herself. They each represent the relationship in that industry. Nika was the background, how things work, who’s who, and what’s what. Travis was the family aspect but also he had his own story to tell. And Chloe’s point of view speaks for itself.

Chloe is an engrossing and charismatic character. She’s head-strong, determined, and stubborn. But she is also caring. For example, she went out of her way to enroll her and her brother into a prep school just to make him feel more normal and then somehow managed to get him a scholarship. Travis is another character that I felt was good. He had the protective brother vibe going on but he also has own adventure—modeling [underwear:], acting, and he’s own personal drama.

The ending was a freaking tease! Seriously! My jaw dropped at how the story ended and I almost threw the book out of frustration. Huge, ginormous, cliff hanger!

Overall: Right from the start, The One dives head first into the world of gossip, sass, and fun. So far this has been the best Hollywood story I have read so far. And I’m eagerly waiting for the sequel to this awesome start!… (meer)
