Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Jojo Moyes’s The One Plus One, read by Elizabeth Bower, Ben Elliot, Nicola Stanton, and Steven France. The One Plus One is the beautiful, poignant, and utterly compelling new novel by the internationally best-selling author Jojo Moyes.
One single mum. With two jobs and two children, Jess Thomas does her best day after day. But it’s hard on your own. And sometimes you take risks you shouldn’t. Because you have to....
One chaotic family. Jess’ gifted, quirky daughter Tanzie is brilliant with numbers, but without a helping hand she’ll never get the chance to shine. And Nicky, Jess’ teenage stepson, can’t fight the bullies alone. Sometimes Jess feels like they’re sinking....
One handsome stranger. Into their lives comes Ed Nicholls, a man whose life is in chaos, and who is running from a deeply uncertain future. But he has time on his hands. He knows what it’s like to be lonely. And he wants to help....
One unexpected love story. The One Plus One is a captivating and unconventional romance from Jojo Moyes about two lost souls meeting in the most unlikely circumstances.
Jojo Moyes is a novelist and a journalist. She worked at the Independent for 10 years before leaving to write full time. Her previous novels have all been critically acclaimed and include The Ship of Brides, Foreign Fruit, The Last Letter From Your Lover, winner of Spring 2012’s most popular Richard, and Judy Book Club title Me Before You and most recently The Girl you Left Behind.

Lovely story
I really enjoyed this novel and found the story sweet and understated. I was a bit disappointed however, after the build up, that when Ed and Jess finally admitted their feeling for each other and made love, there wasn’t any detail. I thought this was a shame as there was quite a lot of detail earlier in the book when Ed was thinking about the encounter he’d had with Deanna. The chapter where Jess gets into bed with Ed in the guest house, I thought was beautifully written and touching. This is a very clever and well thought out story that will have you fully invested in the characters and willing them to gain some good luck towards the end. Brilliant! I loved it ❤️

Loved it. 😀
Loved it. 😀 highly recommended. Jo Jo Moyes just gets the characters right I wonder how long she has had to sit and people watch. And where?

Another winner
When you've listened to a number of heavy historical books or my other favourites, a good murder, it's great to slip in a wonderful book by Jojo Moyes to help you sleep steadily again and help you laugh.... and cry.
There are no real surprises, just great storylines with believable characters (with flaws like everyone else) and enchanting dialogue. I particularly enjoyed the narration on this one as there were several narrators playing different characters.
I really did laugh. And I really did cry and that's the joy of Jojo Moyes' books. Humanity and emotion and I love it.
