Review: One Plus One by Jojo Moyes
I’ve been a fan of Jojo Moyes since I read Me Before You last year. Since then I’ve read two more of her novels, The Girl You Left Behind and Silver Bay.
I love her storytelling style and her romances are usually unique, touching, and compelling. However, the last novel I read by her, Silver Bay, lacked some of her usual magic so needless to say I was hesitant to review One Plus One.
The reviews I had seen online though made me decide to read One Plus One, in hopes of recapturing some of the magic from Moyes earlier novels. I was glad that I decided to give this one a shot.
This novel is a numbers game! Jess Thomas is a single mom with two kids and two jobs. Her kids are a little on the different side. The daughter, Tanzie, is a mathematical genius and her eyeliner wearing son Nicky struggles to fit in.

Review: Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen
James Benjamin Hookbridge is everything a well educated young lad should be in the Restoration era. He’s verses in music, woodcarving, sailing, and he’s witty and charming.
He’e betrothed to a girl who he hopes will make him happy but while he comes from a wealthy family, he dreams of high seas adventure.
He travels to the West Indies and while there is he arrested for piracy and ultimately sold into slavery. His shipmate returns home to England and marries James’s betrothed. When James learns of this he plans his revenge and is filled with anger and hate.
Special Feature: Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen
With a slight nod to Wicked, veteran film critic Lisa Jensen trades Oz for the Neverland and reimagines one of Great Britain’s most beloved classics of children’s literature in her sparkling new novel, ALIAS HOOK (Thomas Dunne Books; July 8, 2014; Hardcover; $24.99).
In Jensen’s retelling, Captain James Benjamin Hookbridge is no storybook villain, just a misunderstood Restoration-era privateer trapped forever in a nightmare of childhood fancy. By filling in the back story, Jensen leads us to question what really is so wonderful about that “infernal, eternal boy” and his band of Lost Boys. The result is an ingenious send up, with Jensen providing a thoughtful meditation on love, war, the masculine and the feminine, and the delicate art of growing up.
