4.5 stars for The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes.
In all its originality, the author spins a beautiful, heartwarming yet unusual romance about a single-parent mum and a man whose vacation home she happens to clean.
The story is filled with snippets of light humor that makes me laugh out loud, yet sob in silence all the same when that same humor comes at the expense of another's agony.
