Excellent book - brilliant story, each character is narrated by different actor and was done very well.

A contemporary story with a very dramatic but realistic plot.
Such a good book that I listened to it in one day!

Thoroughly Enjoyable.

The story was pretty unbelievable and far fetched unfortunately, but it did have some good moments.

Not the best of JoJo

What made the experience of listening to The One Plus One the most enjoyable?

The accents, the different point of views and voices. It was a very well read and written book.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

There are many to choose for but the one that made me teary was the one about the blog post and it's consequences (can't say more)

Any additional comments?

Such a fun listen. The narrators were perfect for each role. Ed's voice was the hardest to get used to but in the end I loved them all ..seeing them develop and seeing their relationships develop was beautiful.

Cute and familiar

Really got into the narrative and the events that filled each characters life. Highly recommended.

A lovely story

I love the story line, and it's nice to hear the story from the point of view of the children as well as the adults. Minus one story as I wasn't keen on the voice of Tansy. But if you read it that won't be a problem.

Enjoyed it
