One Plus One
by Jojo Moyes
JANUARY 2017 BOOK CLUB:
Okay, I loved this book. For whatever reason, I couldn't put it down! I cared about Jess and her kids, and it was interesting to me that a story so realistic and unexaggerated could be so interesting. The only other Moyes book I have read was Me Before You and it seemed a little less real (who would find themselves in that situation? even though it was awesome), but this one seemed like a real story that happens probably too many times.
Jess was a fascinating character who did a great job sticking through the hard times. I just wanted the poor girl to catch a break! It was great to see the story evolve where she felt entirely broken by the end, but Nicky was strong enough at that point to help her out. Their relationship was awesome.
I liked that the romance wasn't a huge part of the book. It almost seemed like a side plot that just happened to occur. I liked how much Ed was humanized throughout the book. Hardships really do seem to make us better, more compassionate people after going through them. We saw that most in Ed, but also from Jess, Nicky and Tanzie. Tanzie is the cutest ever.
