At first, I thought the little maths geek Tanzie would be my favourite but now that the last word has been spoken, I honestly cannot choose between them – all so different, all so crucial to the story, even down to Norman, a big hairy salivating dog who just doesn’t understand the concept of fetching a ball. You could not ask for a much better cast of characters than those in The One Plus One. Moyes writes with such heart and humour, never shying away from tackling the most serious of subject matter, taking her readers on a journey with characters so achingly real they linger long after reading.Īnd when it comes to ‘romance in the real world’, Moyes does it better than anyone I’ve read. She understands that life is complicated, it’s never about just one or two characters, it’s about ensembles, and she invests time in their development. All distinctly different – all highly immersive and compelling reading. I have thoroughly enjoyed every title I’ve had the opportunity to read from this talented author – The Peacock Emporium, Honeymoon in Paris, The Girl You Left Behind and now The One Plus One. This oft’ jaded soul has learned there are very few things you can truly you depend on – my list includes close friends, family, chocolate, and now I’m adding ‘books by Jojo Moyes’.
