One Plus One by Jojo Moyes

4.0

---

I loved Jojo Moyes' Me Before You and have tried one of her other books, but it didn't grab me at the time. One Plus One, however, had me hooked from the beginning because every character had so much at stake. It was a little hard to follow at the start because so many character names were thrown in, but by the second chapter it was all sorted out and you knew who was who and who mattered. Jess is a single mom who works multiple jobs trying to provide for her children while her husband recovers from a nervous breakdown at his mother's. To get her pay, she has to tell off a client she cleans for, then later runs into him at her other job. Then runs into him again. And hates him, because he's so rich he doesn't even notice when $500 falls out of his pocket. But she notices. After reading this, I'm ready to give the other Moyes books a try again.
