The Plus One

De: Sophia Money-Coutts

Narrado por: Sophia Money-Coutts

The Plus One [n] informal a person who accompanies an invited person to a wedding or a reminder of being single, alone and absolutely plus none

Polly’s not looking for ‘the one’, just the plus one…

Polly Spencer is fine. She’s single, turning thirty and only managed to have sex twice last year (both times with a Swedish banker called Fred), but seriously, she’s fine. Even if she’s still stuck at Posh! magazine writing about royal babies and the chances of finding a plus one to her best friend’s summer wedding are looking worryingly slim.

But it’s a New Year, a new leaf and all that. Polly’s determined that over the next 365 days she’ll remember to shave her legs, drink less wine and generally get her s**t together. Her latest piece is on the infamous Jasper, Marquess of Milton, undoubtedly neither a plus one nor ‘the one’. She’s heard the stories, there’s no way she’ll succumb to his charms…

Fun but I felt it was lacking

The book was a fun, quick listen, don't get me wrong, it just seemed like the ending was rushed. so what happened to Jasper, why the quick ending with the best friend. I just wanted a little more of what really happened with the Jasper thing and more ease into the ending. otherwise, definitely a cute read.

Excellent

Hilarious and a fun read! I could not stop listening to this book. Cannot wait to read more of her books.

An Absolute, Addictive Joy

This is a great audiobook! I had heard about it through a podcast I love called millennial love. So, it had been on my list for a while. But, I finally tucked into it on a long drive to Memphis and back, and I couldn’t have asked for a more fun and addictive listen! Well done Sophia! So excited to read/listen to your other books!!

this book was just ok

It story in the beginning was interesting but the ending of the story seemed like she was rushing and left a lot of questions.

Great Performance!

Story was great, just the kind of rom-com stuff I love. And the author who read it was great. So enjoyable and funny.

Story fell flat

🚨SPOILER ALERT🚨
I felt like the story never really developed relationships with anyone other than her mom. Not that that’s really an issue but she is supposedly in a relationship with this guy for 90% of the book and he is only in the book a few scenes and no relationship development. Then they don’t end up together and the guy she does end up with is in the book even less!!!
They are only together for 5 minutes of the whole book!!! Not my favorite book.

great book about the modern dating sceen

this book captures all of the different scenarios women go through when trying to find our mr. right.

Terrible narrator

A book with a lot of promise but with such a terrible narrator i couldn’t get past a few chapters.
