Book Spotlight: One Plus One by Jojo Moyes (plus Giveaway!!!) GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Last July, I read One Plus One
by Jojo Moyes when it was first released in hard
cover, and I really enjoyed it! You can find my thoughts on the book here. On March 31 the book is being released in paperback and to celebrate, I am helping the publishers get the word out. I also have 1 copy of the book to giveaway – be sure to read all the way to the bottom of the post for details!

Title: One Plus One    

Author: Jojo Moyes        

Published: March 2015, Penguin Books  

Format: Paperback, 416 pages  

One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love story from the New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You

American audiences have fallen in love with Jojo Moyes. Ever since she
debuted Stateside she has captivated readers and reviewers alike, and
hit the New York Times bestseller list with the word-of-mouth sensation Me Before You. Now, with One Plus One, she’s written another contemporary opposites-attract love story.

Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act,
your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math whiz daughter has a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can’t afford to pay for. That’s
Jess’s life in a nutshell—until an unexpected knight in shining armor
offers to rescue them. Only Jess’s knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the
obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But
Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to
the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages . . .
maybe ever.

One Plus One is Jojo Moyes at her
astounding best. You’ll laugh, you’ll weep, and when you flip the last
page, you’ll want to start all over again.

Here are some goodies to whet your appetite further…
