Yes, it steals the plot of Little Miss Sunshine. Yes, it's chick lit. But I picked it up around 7 and didn't put it down until I finished it at midnight, because Jojo Moyes can tell a story.

Love it! I like most of her books, this one was a little different than the other ones with a more modern twist but I enjoyed it just as much. It is very good. Depressing but uplifting. I balled my eyes out at one point in the book. The characters are awesome. I was sad when it ended.

Having read and loved The Girl You Left Behind I had no hesitations in diving into this book. The writing and the feel of this book are sooooooo different from The Girl You Left Behind that it would be possible to think they were written by two different authors. I spent the first 65% of this book wanting to throw it at the wall and asking myself if I really wanted to finish. Unfortunately I bought it on kindle so I felt I had no choice. I'm finally done and glad I persevered!
My initial frustrations with the book stemmed mostly from too many cliches, an elementary writing style, and a completely predictable plot line. Almost three-quarters of the way through the plot picked up, although still quite predictable, but the writing became more enjoyable and I lost myself in the story and the characters and didn't notice so many of the issues I had in the first portion of the book.
While I thought many areas were weak, I felt that all of the characters were quite well developed and likable, which I think saved this book for me.
This is perfect as a vacation/beach read.

100% romantisch leesvoer. Super zoet. Dit boek las dan ook zoals een zak met snoep. Eerst genoot ik nog van de zoetigheid maar halverwege moest ik het echt even wegleggen. De zoetheid was 'too much'. Ik werd er een beetje weeïg van. Op de onprettige manier. Maar nadat ik tussendoor even wat stevigere kost heb gelezen, las ik het laatste deel toch nog met plezier uit.

Eu adoro a narrativa dessa autora. eu fiquei com raiva de personagens, alegre por outros e feliz por ler mais um livro bonito, mesmo com tantos assuntos tão tristes.

It started slow and at first I didn't really care for the characters, but it picked up the tempo a bit and after all I really enjoyed it.

It's difficult to believe the same author wrote Me Before You. One Plus One was ridiculously long and predictable.
