I read it years ago and it was so good , I wanted to reread it. It is a wonderful combination of funny and sad. The characters are well developed, and you identify with the difficult situation that the family is in. This is a must read. Review: Splendid... except for one thing - First off, this book is delightful! I read it from cover to cover on a plane and never once took a break to check out the in-flight movies. I thought it would be a light, sweet read to make the hours pass, and often it was - but be prepared for at least one major gut punch that will make you reassess what kind of book this is. Answer: a better book than I expected. More powerful. Just be prepared, as I didn't expect to be fighting back sobs at 30,000 feet. However, I'm withholding one star because I think there's a big missed opportunity here - and his name is Ed Nicholls. While the other characters are original and sharply drawn, the male lead in this story has all the distinctiveness of an L.L. Bean mannequin. He seems to have an interesting life story, but he doesn't seem interesting enough to be living it. I can't really even tell what he's supposed to be. Computer geek? Bigshot rich guy? Can't say I'm buying either one. Okay, if you've read the book already, I can hear you from here. "He's both!" you're saying. "He's a geek who founded a tech startup, got rich, and hired a trainer and stylist so he could become cool and attract Italian fashion models." Right, but here's the problem: "show, don't tell." The author explains what Ed is all about, but I never see it play out in his behavior. I don't sense the tension between the geek he is at heart and the semi-suave persona he's grown into. I don't sense much of anything. I can't really even picture what he looks like. Is he a delectable hunk barely disguised in Clark Kent glasses, or an okay-looking guy who grows on you as you pick up his endearing qualities? I honestly can't tell. He's... amorphous. With all the possibilities, it's too bad we got stuck with "generic male." Well, I'm only harping on this because the book is otherwise so lovable and absorbing. I recommend it highly. Just don't waste a lot of energy figuring out Ed. There isn't much to figure out. But look almost anywhere else and you will find much to richly enjoy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00G3L7VPC | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,344 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #390 in Sisters Fiction #460 in Mothers & Children Fiction #715 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (44,487) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 3.3 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-0698152007 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 369 pages | | Publication date | July 1, 2014 | | Publisher | Penguin Books | | Reading age | 18 years and up | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![One Plus One: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716VILYM2dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is a story worth reading! *by P***N on July 31, 2025* I just loved this story.

One Plus One really drives home the importance of family. They're the people who will always be there for you even in the most dire of circumstances and have your back no matter what. I saw it constantly through Jess' fierce determination to provide for her children and give them the best life and love possible with what little they had in life. It was demonstrated through Nicky and Tanzie's relationship as brother and sister and their acceptance of one another even though they're both a little different. You even see it in Norman, the giant slobbery dog who is 100% loyal to his people. To put it simply, there is no mold for the perfect family. It means something different to everyone, and the family in this book is simply beautiful, quirks and all! The unlikely romance that develops between Jess and Ed is equally as beautiful as the family element. As always, JoJo Moyes writes characters so real you feel like you know them personally. The romance is a slow build and was one of my favorite aspects of the novel aside from the family growth. I don't see a real point in rehashing the plot, all I can really say is you definitely won't regret reading this. It made me laugh (actually out loud, multiple times) and it made me sad (and then happy again, don't worry) and most importantly when I finished it I felt an even greater appreciation for my big, wonderful, slightly weird at times family. We have been through so much together, quite like Jess, Tanzie and Nicky, yet our love for each other will always ensure we make it through the bad stuff together. There's plenty to love in these pages and no matter what your family situation, I can guarantee you'll relate to plenty here. This is another favorite read for me from JoJo Moyes (I love it ALMOST as much as Me Before You) and I'll be loaning it out to everyone I know. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/99508968-one-plus-one-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/99508968-one-plus-one-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
