One Plus One by Jojo Moyes

2.0

---

Perhaps my expectations for this book were way too high, given how much I emotionally connected with Me Before You. This one, well, it was one of those books that you like enough to stick with it, but you just want to get through it so you can be done with it and move on to something else that will hopefully hold more interest. In fact, I started this book, set it aside and read a different book, then finished this one just so I could "count it" as done. It was... fine. The quirky characters and road-trip plot reminded me too much of the movie 'Little Miss Sunshine,' and I found it hard to shake my annoyance that it was so unoriginal. A few emotional punches at the very, very end made reading this worthwhile for me, but it definitely fell way below my hopes for Jojo Moyes.
