    1. I read this a while ago and now reviews are starting to pop up everywhere I thought I d add mine.I feel I should begin this review with an apology to Diane Chamberlain Whenever I m asked who my favourite author is I name her, as she never fails to delight and presses all my buttons with her lovely romantic family dramas Well I m sorry Diane, I m not dumping you, honest I m not, its just that Jojo Moyes is my flavour of the month at the moment and looks to be taking top spot for some time yet, I [...]

    2. I am not a stranger to what it means to live by making ends meet, to just have enough before the next payday comes and sometimes, just sometimes, I feel bad that I couldn t get the ones I love than what they need But to a single mom like Jessica or Jess, to be rich simply means to be able to stay at home, read books and just be with your family without having to worry about the money all the bloody time which kind of made me feel like a douche because the story made me realize that I AM rich I [...]

    5. One Plus One is another wonderful standalone novel written by the amazing Jojo Moyes I adored the characters in this noveleven the K 9 one they all had their quirks but it works for this particular family The events that take place in this story are funny, inspiring, as well as heartbreaking, and the message of perseverance is repeated over and over I found myself quickly engaged in the storyline and invested in every character I don t want to spoil anything about the story itself, so I ll sum u [...]

    8. A little of what you fancy does you good and this is exactly what I felt while reading One Plus One by JoJo Moyes.The story is is basically an unconventional romance story and I don t normally do romance or chick lit novels but I think JoJo Moyes manages to bring a series edge to to her plots and her books are far thought provoking than most romance novels Having read and really enjoyed Me Before YouI thought it was time for another novel by JoJo and I choose One Plus One in audio format as a r [...]

    11. One Plus One was pure Hallmark or was it Disney with several fucks thrown in to try to pretend it was hip instead of drip One Plus One equals 2 boring.When I was reading this, I wanted to smoke a cigarette and drink, neither of which I do The book is just so mundane, someone needs to rebel, spice things up, and it might as well be me Don t get me wrong This book is fine The plot is fine The dialog is fine Everything is fine But fine only goes so far Can something be too heartwarming At one point [...]

    14. 3.5 StarsI am such a fan of Me Before You that I naturally started this book with pretty high expectations So the question is, Did this book live up to my expectations I have struggled with this question not only while I was reading but for some time after I finished this book.Up until around the 15% mark of this book, I kind of had trouble following the story It seemed to jump around to different character s POV before I could grasp an understanding of what was going on This became a bit distra [...]

    15. Popular romance, in whatever media it may come, is often an expression of a frivolous or silly social mythology, and a value judgement on the social mythology is likely to be relevant to criticism than a value judgment on the literary merit Northrop Frye, The Secular ScriptureOr as as the novelist George Elliot in the Westminster Review essay Silly Novels by Lady Novelists 1856 so daintily described it as a genus with many species , including the frothy, prosy , pious, and pedantic, and condemn [...]

    16. I absolutely loved this book I d give it 10 stars if I could JoJo Moyes book, Me Before You , is one of my favorite novels I read a couple of her other books and didn t like them I didn t expect much from this book just assuming Me Before You was a fluke Boy was I wrong It s a lighter read then Me Before You but it is wonderful in its own right This was such a great story with wonderful characters I laughed and I cried and I didn t want to put it down.

    17.

    18. 3.5 StarsONE PLUS ONE started off a little far fetched for me with Ed, a well to do and supposedly bright software geek, giving away view spoiler insider information hide spoiler just to be rid of a bimbo he regrettably hooked up with and likewise, Jess is just as bad deciding to drive to Scotland in a junk heap limo without knowing directions or quite how to drive for that matterBUT, as I read along, I found myself laughing at all the crazy mishaps that occurred on the trip and loving Norman, t [...]

    22. One Plus One is the second book I ve read by JoJo Moyes The first was Me Before You which I devoured in about 2 days and ended up blubbering like a baby That book stayed with me for several months One Plus One did not pull me in immediately like Me Before You did It took a few false starts and a few chapters before I finally settled in and became absorbed in the story It s a light story that is entertaining and rather moving in places, but not heavy like Me Before You As the book opens, Ed Nicho [...]

    24. One Plus Oneby Jojo Moyes Three and 1 2 StarsThis is a cute, light, enjoyable read It does NOT come anywhere close to packing the same punch as Me Before You which has to be one of the most unique, creative and insightful books I ve ever read I do recommend this book, but be warned, it is filled to the brim with every other rom com cliche you can think of Two people from opposite worlds with nothing in common get stuck in a cramped car on a harrowing road trip He is wealthy but an unlikely, nerd [...]
