One on One follows Sam and Deanie, two high school students that are more different than they are alike. The two fall in love, only to be faced with multiple adversities, from rivals to sports.
Reception for One on One was mostly positive, with Entertainment Weekly giving the novel a rating of B+. [1] [2] [3] The Chicago Tribune wrote that the book "stands up on its own merits". [4]
The novel was panned by the Arizona Daily Star, saying that King was "a hack", although admitting that "(a)nyone who can go through the grueling process of writing a novel and getting it published deserves a lot of credit."
