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…
A laugh-out-loud, toe-curlingly honest debut for fans of Helen Fielding, Bryony Gordon and Jilly Cooper. Don’t miss the hottest book of 2018!

This book is what used to be called a ‘romp’ and it reminds me a bit of an early Jilly Cooper book.
We meet Polly, her friends, her mum, and her colleagues, and we follow her new realationship with a handsome Scot who lives in a castle. The plot is slightly predictable, but apart from a frothy love story, it covers much deeper subjects too. I really liked it, and will definitely look out for Sophia Money-Coutts in future.
I was lucky enough to receive this ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review.

A romping, rollicking, fun-filled holiday read. Its hard to be single and 30, as Polly finds out. Her friends are coupling up and she is feeling the pressure. Her best friend Lex is planning a wedding and her other best friend Bill is getting serious with his girlfriend. Luckily she worked for Posh! magazine which caters for the countries blue bloods. She meets Jasper through an interview and maybe, just maybe, Polly can also find love.
Admittedly the story line was predictable, but it was so self-deprecating and full of fun that it made for easy reading. There is a bit of Polly in all of us and I loved the honesty that shone through the wit. Highly recommended as the perfect, entertaining, uncomplicated beach read.

This is a laugh out loud book. Easy to read and perfect for long summer days on the beach, by the pool or just a lazy day at home.

I absolutely loved this book. Wonderful humour and a real feel-good read. The author pulled it off and had me burning the midnight oil turning the pages. It is uplifting, funny and bright and big thanks for letting me read ahead of publication. I highly recommend The Plus One and look forward to more from Sophia Money-Coutts.
Grace W, Educator
What an enjoyable and humerous read! Polly, the thirty something protagonist of the story is single, stuck in a less than great job and lacks direction in life. I think everyone can identify with her on some level. But this book didn't go down the stereotype route and the characters really had depth. I thought Susan was so funny and I have definately had some simular conversatations with my mum in the past. I really felt for Polly and although the book was a little predictable there were bits where I wished I could reach into the book and either shake her or hug her.
Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read such a fab book.
