Description

One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love story from the 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.

    I Have only read one other book by this author and it was the tear jerker. I read the reviews about this one and a few weren’t thrilled with it, but I love it. Everything about it touched my heart. I couldn’t put it down and hated for it to end. Loved it !

    Delightful story. Laughed so much, my husband began laughing, too. There are difficult parts, but also, a HEA.
  • Favorite Jojo!

    This book had me hooked in the first chapter. I fell in love with the characters, and found myself laughing and crying along side them. This story had me examining myself and those around me through a different set of eyes. A remarkable story that has me excited to read more from this author.
  • Awesomeness

    Jojo is my favorite author, I see as I'm reading through the reviews that people keep comparing this book to Me Before You and that makes me sad! Yes that was a fantastic book but there are others by her that are just as amazing..The Girl You Left Behind and Last Letter From Your Lover are so so good! Anyway the snobs need to get over it. This book was fabulous because the characters are so detailed that you end up playing the words on the page as a movie in your mind. They're vivid and flawed which is what I love about Jojos writing. It ALWAYS leaves you wanting more. I don't think there is a book of hers that I've read that I haven't cried into. Sometimes out of sadness but mostly because of the heart swelling goodness that spills out of her characters in moments of reflection. I'm sad now because I've just ended this book and now what do I read? I need more Jojo!!

    JoJo Moyes has a great way with dialogue. She writes the way people talk. This wasn't my favorite book by her, but it was still very good. She has a way of writing about normal people that makes you care about them.

    ...as I LOVED Me Before You, but this book was just your run of the mill girl-meets-boy-meets-adversity. A bit cheesy/cliche, without the payoff of say a The Notebook. So bummed, as I REALLY wanted to like this book.
