Henry and Zoe have more in common than they realize. For a start, they both have pasts they’d rather leave behind. After jilting his childhood sweetheart on the eve of their wedding, Henry makes a break for London. He has no friends, no job, no home, no plan. Zoe has great friends, two jobs, a new house, and a big scary plan. After a traumatic, life-changing event, she plans to leave London and spend a year travelling. Alone. If Henry and Zoe had met one year ago, things might have worked out differently. But that’s not the way life works. They meet seven months after their worlds have been turned upside down. And four months before Zoe is due to climb on a plane... Full of wisdom and humor, The Trouble with Henry and Zoe is a poignant, honest look at a modern romance and how it’s possible to start again, no matter what direction life takes you.
