Goodreads Says: One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love.
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. Irrestible love story.
Jojo Moyes has done it again! Me Before You is one of the best books I’ve read in recent years.
As the book opens Ed Nicholls has just discovered that he is an imbecile. He has managed to get himself on the hook for insider trading. Jess Thomas is an optimistic single mother working two jobs to support her family. Her daughter Tanzie is offered a partial scholarship to attend a prestigious private school. Jess is determined to make it happen, even though she cannot afford to make up the difference. Her stepson Nicky is beaten up by bullies, she is close to giving up. That is until Tanzie’s teacher tells her about something called the Maths Olympiad with cash prizes up to five thousand pounds. Unfortunately, it takes place in Scotland and she doesn’t have the money for train tickets. Ed is the owner of a house she cleans and their previous meetings were on the unpleasant side. He offers to drive to drive them all to Scotland after hearing about the Maths Olympiad. An unusual and long road trip filled with ups and downs of every sort follows as they make their way slowly to Scotland.
This story is inspiring, touching and an uplifting family drama where you would be charmed by the features of the characters. I absolutely loved this book.
