Overall Opinion:
Being the ghost writer to her Aunt Donna who is also the world renowned Dr. Donna and America’s #1 relationship coach, Rachel had the whole world fooled. Playing the part of ‘assistant’, the novelist played up the charade for years to pay for her bedridden father medical expenses but it seems to all be crushing down when she lacks the inspiration for the next book with a deadline that closing in. Just when she thinks her luck couldn’t get any worse, her Aunt Donna and publicist Lacey concocted a harebrained scheme to join forces with a late night Wisconsin sports radio star, Lukas Grant, in the hope it will help deliver the elusive next book idea. Yet unbeknownst to them, a big-time LA producer Brad Shipman calls to offer Luke a once in a lifetime opportunity, an offer that comes with a catch. Discover the acclaimed authors secret and exposed Dr. Donna for the fraud she is. And to do that, the radio star decided to get close to the one person who knows her better than anyone, Rachel. Can love find a way through the lies that force them apart? Or will it be all crashing down?
“One Thing I Know” is hands down one of the best heartwarming reads I have had thus far in 2019. There was just something natural about the relationship between Rachel and Lukas. Nothing force nor fast paced and you were easily able to see how their relationship developed throughout the pages. The built up was tremendous and you were able to get a sense of how genuine their feelings were. After the first page, it was nearly impossible to put down. Kara Isaac writing style was top notch, the main and secondary characters were relatable and the content was refreshing. The only letdown was the fact that there was no epilogue. I would have loved to see how their relationship progressed in the future but overall, I am generally happy with the outcome with the series and pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it considering the low rating of other reviewers.
