One Plus One: A Novel
One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes
Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can’t afford to pay for. That’s Jess’s life in a nutshell—until an unexpected knight in shining armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess’s knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages . . . maybe ever.
One Plus One is Jojo Moyes at her astounding best. You’ll laugh, you’ll weep, and when you flip the last page, you’ll want to start all over again.

Well, it was nice to get a good cry (or a dozen of them) out.
Review soon.
And no, it's not "Me Before You," but that's ok.

After reading The Handmaid's Tale and The Bell Jar back-to-back, I needed a palate cleanser. One Plus One is about a household made up of quirky characters. I liked the children and the idea that the little girl was a math genius. It made the story a bit unusual. Some of the dialogue was clever and I enjoyed it, but I'm pretty sure this will be fairly forgettable. Still, it did what I needed it to do, and I'm happy about that.
