One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes

American audiences have fallen in love with Jojo Moyes. Ever since she debuted Stateside she has captivated readers and reviewers alike, and hit the New York Times bestseller list with the word-of-mouth sensation Me Before You. Now, with One Plus One, she’s written another contemporary opposites-attract love story.

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.

Critic reviews

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."
—Booklist

After having read Me Before You which I enjoyed to a large extent, I chose to read this book as I enjoyed Ms. Moyes' writing style. This story grabbed me from the outset, with its wonderful accents, endearing, quirky characters and a study in dysfunction gone right.
The protagonist, a woman with a Goth stepson, a math wizard of a daughter and a large black clumsy dog named Norman, this story appeals to the heart. The awkward Ed, up on charges of insider trading and totally unable to tell when a woman really cares for him and when one is taking him for his money, undergoes a bit of a transformation throughout this story as he helps the protagonist trek up to Scotland so her daughter can sit a math Olympiad to help her get a scholarship to a prestigious private school that her mother cannot afford to send her to. As the journey unfolds, an unlikely relationship forms between Ed and Tansy's mother. This is a feel-good story written with great skill. If you are looking for a heavy read, this is not your best bet. But you'll love it.

What made the experience of listening to One Plus One the most enjoyable?

This was such a sweet story. I was pulled right in to the world Moyes created, and I must've listened to the entire book in two sittings. At first I didn't really understand the need for the multiple readers, but the chapters are each written in a character's unique voice, so it does make sense to employ four different people. They all gave stelar performances, and I wouldn't mind listening to anything else they read.

What did you like best about this story?

It was the perfect blend of funny, warm, and sweet, without ever stepping too far in one category. I'll definitely listen to books by this author again!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Uhh -
Math, love, and the open road.
Or maybe:
Two lonely hearts. One car.

Any additional comments?

... I shouldn't write tag lines.

Loved It!

I'm a big fan of Jo Jo Moyes and this book didn't disappoint. I thought the 3 readers were all excellent and once the story got going I couldn't stop listening. I felt sad when this ended; it's hard to find something to follow this.

Really, really good

What a great story. The book is based in England, the narrators all have English accents which I would think I wouldn't like, but the narration was wonderful. The author does a wonderful job pulling you into the lives of the main characters, taking you on a journey that will captivate you. There are so many things about this book that make it wonderful. It's not like anything I have ever read. It's about finding true happiness and watching it all slip away, it's about picking up pieces, it's about learning tough lessons, it's about finding your true self and taking responsibility, it's about being different and embracing that, it's about forgiveness and the kindness of strangers. It was very hard to put this book down, I did not want to stop listening. It's written wonderfully. I highly recommend it.

Dysfunction at it's best
