Skryf Review
Amazing Read
One Plus One by Jojo Moyes is a superbly crafted story which is pure joy to read. After reading The Girl You Left Behind, The Last Letter From Your Lover, Me Before You and several others, it’s almost impossible to imagine she could come up with something as spectacular. Yet, One Plus One proves that Jojo Moyes is still to attain her creative best, and a magnum opus is still in the offing.
Her latest offering is undoubtedly one of her best to date. It is a story that will blow you away with its simplicity and beauty. It is the story of Jess, a single parent, who is struggling hard to make both ends meet. She has two children – her daughter Tanzie, who is just eight, and her stepson, Nicky, who is a teen. They are amazing kids but with their own imperfections.
The book is emotionally poignant, yet it will make you laugh and scream in delight as you turn the pages. It is beautifully written as only Joio Moyes can, with the characters and their emotions reaching deep down into your heart, touching every part of your being. One Plus One is every reader’s delight and every writer’s envy.
