*Starred Review* One Plus One equals one fine novel. With its ensemble cast of skillfully crafted charactersfrom single-mom Jess Thomas to tortured goth teen Nicky and gifted sister Tanzie to Ed Nicholls, technology millionaire
each person
s story flows on its own, yet they all meld together into an uncommonly good story about family, trust, and love. Best-selling Moyes (The Girl You Left Behind, 2013) gets things rolling as this hysterically mismatched mélange
along with Norman, a slobbering 80-pound dog of “indeterminate” breed
embarks on a road trip from the English shore to Aberdeen, Scotland, so that Tanzie can compete in a maths “Olympiad.” Her ability to enroll in a prestigious school rides on whether she can win the competition
s cash prize. She
s certainly earned the best education; her family just can
t afford it. In a riotous twist and momentary lapse of good sense, Ed volunteers his “top-of-the-range” Audi, complete with his services as driver. There are high jinks galore as perhaps one-too-many gastrointestinal problems arise, but, in all, the trip, with what Ed perceives as its terrifying “boundarylessness,” delivers on its promise, just not in the way anyone anticipated. Bravo to Moyes for delivering toothsome characters in a story readers will truly care about. Is that Hollywood calling? –Donna Chavez

Review
Praise for THE GIRL YOU LEFT BEHIND:
“Vibrant and gripping.”
—People (***)
“Jojo Moyes expertly weaves a bittersweet tale in this irresistible novel, taking careful interest in the dark corners that exist within great love stories, and the trickiness of simple happy endings. A-“
—Entertainment Weekly
“Moyes writes delicious plots, with characters so clearly imagined they leap off the pages in high-definition prose.”
—USA Today (3 1/2 stars)
“Jojo Moyes builds on her strengths in this moving and accomplished new novel. As she did in the best-selling Me Before You, she asks readers to think in fresh ways about a morally complex issue. . . . The Girl You Left Behind is strong, provocative, satisfying fiction.
—The Washington Post
“‘In this moving paean to daring, determination and perspicacity, Moyes keeps the reader guessing down to the last hankie.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Good storytelling.”
—New York Daily News
“In her latest heart tugger, Jojo Moyes deftly weaves the story of newlyweds in WWI France with that of a young widow in today’s London.”
—Parade
“Lovely and wry, Moyes’s newest is captivating and bittersweet.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Moyes (Me Before You) has created a riveting depiction of a wartime occupation that has mostly faded from memory. Liv and Sophie are so real in their faults, passion, and bravery that the reader is swept along right to the end. This one is hard to put down!”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“Moyes (Me Before You, 2012) writes with such clarity that one can almost see the eponymous 100-year-old painting at the center of her wonderful new novel. . . . an uncommonly good love story.“

Jojo Moyes’ words are bullets, and she shoots them straight into your heart.
One Plus One is an absolutely exhilarating novel. Equal parts moving, heartbreaking, hopeful and hilarious, it’s a smart and memorable story about one untypical family and their journey to happiness. A journey that includes a painfully slow road-trip to Scotland in a car with a rude boss, two kids and one huge, smelly dog.
Two people. Two completely different worlds. What do they add up to?
Jess’ life is as far from easy and privileged as you can imagine. Her husband, depressed because of his steady stream of bad decisions resulting in a complete financial fiasco, went away to spend a couple weeks at his mom’s. That was two years ago. With two kids to provide for – one not even her own – and a whole load of other problems (including, but not limited to, bully neighbors, rude employers, and constant lack of money), Jess works her ars off at two jobs. She’s one tough gal, she never gives up, always bounces back, no matter what obstacles land in her path. But even this short and feisty Erin Bronkovitch-like woman is not unbeatable. She can’t always "sort things out", though God knows she tries her best.
Ed is a disaster of a whole different kind, and kind of of his on making. He’s not exactly filthy rich, though he’s definitely on the other end of the spectrum from Jess. His job is hugely profitable, he works alongside his best friend, his high-end home is regularly cleaned – and guess who is the cleaner? – and the only thing that he seems to be missing in his life, is love. Due to an unfortunate affair, he finds himself in a lot of trouble. Legal trouble. Very serious, potentially life-devastating trouble.
