Your review is helpful. I wouldn't spend time on it. I'm not really interested in the storyline.

As a gay man, I love LGBTQI fiction, and a lot of times, it's really poorly written. The One sounds like an exception, and I can't wait to read it. 21 characters does sound like a lot for one book, so I can understand why only four were fleshed out. I wonder if they're all necessary though. I'll read it and find out

The One is an LGBTQ+ fiction novel featuring Eli Cooper. Supported by his best friend, Tori, Eli navigates the road to finding love. It is encouraging to observe that more stories about gay couples are being offered to educate readers and help people to open their minds and understand that everyone deserves love.

The one by Tyler Cook romantic suspense story of Eli and his new acquaintance. I really liked the title as "The One" who is made for you. Hoping to see Eli end up in his fairy tale story. The review is very informative and genuine. Specially the warning in 1st paragraph. I really appreciate it. Thank you!

I'm intrigued by Eli and Tori's journey and the dynamics of friendship and love in the workplace explored in this book. Also, the book's portrayal of navigating relationships is raw yet beautifully crafted.

The strange friendship between Eli and Tori and how Tori helps Eli fulfill his unnatural desires seems unique in this story.

I haven't read romance book because I am interested to read non-fiction books. After reading this review, I am surprised how the author could move the romance story without a sign of profanity. If people who are not sensitive about lgbtq, they may appreciate it.

This book looks like an interesting novel to read, however, I'm not a fan of same-sex relationships, so I don't I can read the book. I never was and I never will, well this is just based on my own beliefs. Regardless, congratulations to the author for winning BOTD!

Thanks for your insightful review. From the general stance on homosexuality to how you introduced the story and the characters, it was quite intriguing. I love how you shared your opinion about the subject with an openness and your respect towards the author's stance.

Amazing review. "The One" by Tyler Cook revolves around Christian and Eli's relationship , which is quite confusing . Will they both call it quit or make it work is the theme of the plot. The author did exceptional job in showing sexuality, love and friendship in a beautiful way.

I’m usually all for an LGBTQ+ romance book, but the reviewer having mentioned that there’s 21 characters and only four are well-built has put me off a bit.

Unfortunately people are more worried about what's socially accepted and what is not, that they not willing to be open minded or live out of the box. I could never understand why it matters who you love, cause at the end of the day, it doesn't change you as person, you always stay who you are. You sexual preference has nothing to do with your personality nor with other people. I curious to see if Eli finds his happy ending after what Chritan did. Thanks for a well written review.

The One" by Tyler Cook. An interesting book recommend for readers who are not sensitive to same-sex marriage and those who enjoy reading romance books. Eli and Christian's decision could be weird to many but that's the path they have chosen. Eli and Christian coming together could be destiny. Everybody's sexuality should be respected such as Tori did. Congrats on your #BOTD
