***** 5 stars
A great start for my week of vacation reading! I received an ARC of this from First to Read and hoarded it for vacation. It was hard to wait and I started it on the plane! From my perspective, Jojo Moyes came out of nowhere with Me Before You last year which I loved, loved, loved! In the meantime, I've picked up some of her previous titles and enjoyed them to one degree or another. But they didn't quite match the magic of Me Before You.
One Plus One did! I just adored this cute and charming book. Although it does deal with some tough stuff, poverty, single parenting, blended families, hard (and bad) choices, it had such a delightful tone. The characters were so realistic; they seemed like people you know or would want to know.
I know people say "LOL" a lot (I'm guilty of it, too), but I really did laugh out loud in a couple places. Jojo is my new literary best friend! Madcap, quirky, charming and surprisingly heartwarming are all great words to describe this book. I even love the title and how it plays into the math theme with the little girl. Love!
