Not my favorite by this author, but a good story. A little predictable, but enjoyable. ( )

A sweet romance story with family struggles on both sides. A woman with two kids and a big oaf of a dog who are barely getting by. Her ex says he has no money and is living with his mom and, therefore, cannot afford to send money for child support. She finds herself getting help from a man for whom she cleans his house. He finds himself in trouble for insider trading. Kirkus: Popular British author Moyes (The Girl You Left Behind, 2013, etc.) offers another warmhearted, off-kilter romance, this one between a financially strapped single mother and a geeky tech millionaire.Ten years ago, Jess Thomas got pregnant and dropped out of high school to marry Marty. Two years ago, hapless Marty temporarily moved out of their home on the southern coast of England to sort out his life. He never returned. Cleaning houses by day and working in a pub at night, Jess barely earns enough to support her 10-year-old daughter, Tanzie, and her 16-year-old stepson, Nicky, whom she?s been raising since he was 8. Jess worries constantly about sensitive Nicky, a moody goth regularly beaten up by the local bully. Math genius Tanzie presents a different crisis: She?s been offered a generous scholarship to a private school her current teachers say she needs, and Jess can?t come up with the balance. The only hope is winning prize money at a math tournament in Scotland, but how to get there? Meanwhile, one of Jess? cleaning clients, computer whiz Ed Nicholls, has come to stay in his seaside vacation home to avoid publicity surrounding insider trading charges. He and Jess share an instant mutual dislike, but when he ends up drunk at the pub, Jess makes sure he gets home safely. Partly out of gratitude, but largely to escape pressure from lawyers, his ex-wife and his sisterwho?s nagging him to attend his father?s birthday party¥Ed offers to drive Jess, her kids and their large dog to Scotland. A road-trip-from-hell romantic comedy ensues, complete with carsickness, bad meals and missed signals. Unsurprisingly, hostility evolves into mutual attraction. But Moyes throws in a few wrenches, like Tanzie?s failure at the competition, Ed?s father?s cancer and the cash Jess has secretly kept since it fell out of Ed?s pocket at the pub that first night.Moyes has mastered the art of likable, not terribly memorable, but far from simple-minded storytelling.

Quick easy romance. Opposites attract.

Enjoyable but nothing extra special. ( )
  hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 |
cute story with a few twists to keep it interesting ( )
  hellokirsti | Jan 3, 2024 |
I loved this book for the first 2/3 of the story, when it began behaving overtly like a romance, at which point I only really liked it a lot. I found all the characters interesting, although the antagonists were not as well developed as I'd like. Moyes tells a good story about (mostly) believable and (sometimes) sympathetic characters. If it wrapped up a little too neatly at the end and there were too many just desserts for realism, I can forgive her for it. The ride was definitely worthwhile.

This is the first JoJo Moyes book I've tried, and I've already put her other audiobooks my library carries on the hold list.

Audiobook version, surprisingly loaned by a friend who prefers murder mystery series. The production uses multiple narrators effectively, all of whom provided a fine performance. ( )

Moyes has an unerring sense for the serious as well as for the ridiculous, and “One Plus One” shimmers with both unyielding warmth and canny incisiveness. While it tackles the desperation exposed by the chasm of income inequality and the horrific aspects of bullying, it also catches the more enchanting elements of life’s rich pageant from “the magnificence of total strangers,” to that moment when someone first notices the relaxing effect they’re having on another person and experiences the joyful epiphany of realizing that they are exactly where they belong.

What really makes a book of the summer is when we surprise ourselves. It’s not just about being fascinated by a book. It’s about being fascinated by the fact that we’re fascinated.

The odds: 2-1

Pros: Single mom plus nerdy millionaire equals unlikely romance. And there’s a road trip!
Cons: Very few killer sharks.
