Well, it was nice to get a good cry (or a dozen of them) out.
Review soon.

After reading The Handmaid's Tale and The Bell Jar back-to-back, I needed a palate cleanser. One Plus One is about a household made up of quirky characters. I liked the children and the idea that the little girl was a math genius. It made the story a bit unusual. Some of the dialogue was clever and I enjoyed it, but I'm pretty sure this will be fairly forgettable. Still, it did what I needed it to do, and I'm happy about that.
