One Plus One by Jojo Moyes
4.0

If you want a love story, but you also want relatable characters with depth and a story with layers instead of fluff, then you must turn to Jojo Moyes. She has done it again with her latest book, One Plus One. Jess is a single mom of two just barely scraping by when she meets Ed, a successful computer geek being investigated in an insider trading case. They end up on a road trip to take Jess' daughter, Tanzie, to a math competition that could change the course of her life. The characters are hard not to fall in love with, including Norman, the dog...and anyone who knows me knows that I am not sentimental when it comes to animals. Jess was so strong and noble, but at the same time you wished you could change everything for her. And, there is nothing better than a smart little girl with a great big brother. It had moments of tension and laughter and heart break and redemption and I relished them all. This was the perfect summer read.
