They all came to find love, but only some will leave with their lives

THE WILDS meets Sophie Gonzales NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER for thriller fanatics, romance lovers and the reality TV-obsessed

Constance Berardi signs up to teen reality dating show, The One, to prove that she's over her ex-girlfriend. What seems like a free vacation and a second chance at romance quickly takes a sinister turn when a plane crash leaves contestants deserted on an island.

That night, one of the girls is murdered. And the weapon? A blood-stained stiletto – found in Constance’s hand.

With no memory of the night before, Constance has no idea if she’s the murderer – or if she’s being framed.

With Easton (whose eyes seriously aren’t that piercing) convinced of her innocence, they search the island for clues and accidentally uncover dangerous secrets.

As supplies dwindle and tensions rise, Constance must discover the truth or die trying….

Industry Reviews

Galbraith blends high-stakes survival with the deliciously messy drama of reality TV in a way that hooks you from the very first page. The One is packed with suspense, romance, and pulse-pounding twists. A thrilling debut!

Channelle Desamours, author of Needy Little Things

THE ONE is the kind of book you curl up to read on a stormy night, letting the characters and the premise sweep you away. Galbraith blends the mystery of an Agatha Christie novel with the unhinged flair of a reality TV show, and the result is a compelling narrative about the complexity of the human heart. Galbraith's characterisation across the board makes THE ONE a fun, heartfelt read. And Constance, the protagonist, though a little messy, is a gem--someone to root for, not despite her messiness, but because of it.

Tomi Oyemakinde, author of The Changing Man

Sharp, subversive, and completely addictive. Galbraith’s debut is a heart-pounding ride, from its gripping beginning to its disarmingly poignant conclusion.

Becky Albertalli

Equal parts thrilling and addictive. It’s smart, savage, and impossible to put down—Isabella Galbraith is a standout voice delivering a standout and unique story.
