ymckendry 's review for:
The One Plus One
by Jojo Moyes
I enjoyed this book. It was interesting and kept me reading, although it's not a book I'd go back to read again or really remember in a few months time.
That's not to say it wasn't good, it was, I enjoyed my time reading it and I'm sure many will really like this book. For me though, much like with Jojo Moyes last book Me Before You I didn't necessarily connect with or love the characters, I think that statement is more true of this book actually.
While I liked the dynamic between Jess, her young ten year old daughter Tanzie and her step son Nicky, and while I especially liked Nicky and Tanz, I can't say I really enjoyed Jess all that much. And Ed was much the same, I waffled quite a bit with liking his character.
Also, like Moyes's last book, the love story was lacking a bit. I didn't necessarily believe the connection between Jess and Ed and thought things wrapped up too quickly, too neatly after the climax.
