One Plus One by Jo Jo Moyes
On the surface, Jess Thomas has nothing going for her. She is a single mother, working two jobs with
no money, no education, no job skills, no child support. Her stepson is being
bullied by the local toughs and her math prodigy daughter has just been accepting
into an elite math school which they cannot afford.
Nonetheless, Jess possesses an unflagging sense of optimism
and an unfailing faith in “doing the right thing.”
Ed is a millionaire software geek who inadvertently
committed insider trading and is now faced with criminal charge and the loss of
all his material goods.
Jess, her children, and smelly dog embark on a road-trip to a math
Olympiad in Scotland where her daughter will hopefully win enough prize money
to pay the entrance fees to the elite school.
When Jess’s car breaks down on the road, Ed rescues the group and drives
them to Scotland.
These four individuals embark on an odyssey that alternates
between hilarity and and tragedy. At times touching, at times funny, this book would be an excellent choice for a book club. Moyes' last novel, Me Before You required at least two boxes of tissues. This one will only leave you with a few tears in your eyes.
