Review
You’re The One That I Want is a lovely, easy read about friendship, love, growing up and the decisions we make. The three main characters, Maddy, Robert and Ben refer to themselves as a ‘tripod’; if one of them was missing the there two would collapse. With this in mind I was surprised that the narrators of the book were just Maddy and Ben, we never see the story from Robert’s point of view. As characters I thought they were very grounded and real in their interaction, mannerisms and their reactions to the situations they find themselves in. Out of the three I found I was more drawn to Ben’s character, I had real empathy and admiration for how he dealt with the situation of his two best friends being in a relationship when he was also in love with Maddy.
The plot is full of life, love, happiness, and a touch of sadness which make it a good fun positive book to read. It is well written and I feel that Giovanna Fletcher gave a balanced view, from both Maddy’s and Ben’s perspective of the situations they find themselves in. It’s vey well thought out and true to life.
You’re The One The One That I Want is an engaging, rollercoaster of a novel that will make you laugh and cry but ultimately it is a pleasurable, feel good read that entertains from beginning to end.
