One Plus One: A Novel by Jojo Moyes

Synopsis
Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can’t afford to pay for. That’s Jess’s life in a nutshell—until an unexpected knight in shining armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess’s knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages . . . maybe ever. 
 One Plus One is Jojo Moyes at her astounding best. You’ll laugh, you’ll weep, and when you flip the last page, you’ll want to start all over again.

Review
I just love Jojo Moyes… I can't deny it. And while the reading is light and border-line "chic-lit" I don't care. I love her books.  Not everything you/I read has to be super literary. This book was no exception, I absolutely devoured it in 26 hours flat.  Two sessions reading at the pool and one super late night session. I couldn't resist! 
This is yet another touching and against all odds love story with absolutely endearing characters. This is one book you absolutely have to pick up for this summer… or any of her other books if you haven't already.
