This book was too simple. Tried to be too many things and succeeded at none of them.

It was one of those books that made me think:

I definitely could write a better book, if she can get published so can I.

This book wouldn't interest most adults, it may appeal to younger readers, but I doubt it because there wasn't enough action. ( )

Sorry, but this book just wasn't in my style or taste. I can't really provide an accurate account of the book, because what I did read I rushed through. It just wasn't for me... ( )

I can't say this is the worst book I've ever read...because after the first four chapters I couldn't read any longer. It reads as if written by an eighth grader...one who needs some grammar assistance. It seems by the number of books published that KLR is a popular enough author. Perhaps she needs a better editor. Glad I got this one free, it's not worth the money.

This book was a fun and quick read. It wasn't overly deep and drama intense but made me laugh, shake my head and roll my eyes - good entertainment. Roby's writing is smart and the situations are relateable. When it comes to matters involving what can happen to a person's life when they come into a money windall.

Roby hooked me from the first page. I was flipping the pages trying to find out what's going to happen next. You can visualize the characters and place yourself in some of the scenarios. Some things were predictable, but yet the ending was a surprise.

I look forward to her new book "The Best of Everything". ( )

One in a Million by Kimberla Lawson Roby

Imagine receiving the best conceivable news. Now imagine that before you can share the news with your loving husband, he tells you that he doesn’t love you and is leaving you for another woman. This is the dilemma facing Kennedi Mason in One in A Million.

One in a Million is the story of Kennedi Mason and her quest to adapt to her ever evolving circumstances. Kennedi must learn to live with her exciting news and the demise of her marriage all at once. She is forced to learn who “has her back” and who doesn’t. Sometimes family doesn’t always have your best interest at heart.

Kimberla Lawson Roby does a good job with moving the story along. However, sometimes the story progresses too quickly. With less than 200 pages, this book is a quick read, but it does leave something to be desired. The book lacked the character development, readers have come to expect from Roby. Overall, this is an interesting book that will have you asking “What would I do?” ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 006144295X, Hardcover)

In the first novella by the New York Times bestselling author of the Reverend Curtis Black series, a wife and a husband receive a surprise that will change their lives forever

Kennedi Mason thinks she's the luckiest woman on earth. She loves her job, she has a wonderful best friend, and she's been married for ten years to her soul mate. There's nothing she can think of that could make her life any better.

Then one fateful day Kennedi receives a piece of news that will turn her world upside down. She's excited about it, and she knows that her husband, Blake, will be over the moon. He has always dreamed of this one thing happening, and she can't wait until he comes home so she can tell him.

But when she sees Blake that evening, he has a special announcement of his own. It shocks Kennedi into silence and wipes the admission she was planning to make right out of her mind. In an instant, her life and her marriage have changed, but not at all in the way that she had expected.

A poignant and satisfying story of hope, Kimberla Lawson Roby's One in a Million beautifully shows us the difference between what we think we want and what we actually need to be truly happy.
