One Plus One
by Jojo Moyes
What a warm-and-fuzzy yet real tale Moyes has woven of a single mom named Jess who struggles to do what's best but is never quite able to get ahead. Jess, her daughter Tanzie, and her step-son Nick find themselves in need of getting to Scotland, so in steps Ed, an executive about to be tried for insider trading. Jess cleans his home and keeps having random run-ins with him. When he's already headed that way, he offers them a ride. What ensues is an absolutely hilarious, heart-wrenching road trip for the ages. This is a perfect example of flawed characters you should probably hate at times but can't help but connect with and love. I'm walking away from this one thinking of it as elevated chick lit - written at a higher level than most in the genre, like the homemade mac and cheese instead of the stuff out of the box.
