Beautiful, wonderfully written 'The Trouble with Henry and Zoe' is a tender, heart-warming read.
Henry and Zoe are two people with past, two people who did things they're not proud of, two people trying to find themselves, to find what is important to them and trying to make peace with choices they made. The story is told through both their eyes allowing the reader to get to know them both and to get their perspective on things. Both complex characters, flawed, but so human and relatable.
With poignant moments, some humour and real warmth 'The Trouble with Henry and Zoe' is a delightful read that I fully recommend.

schoontje. Ik hou ervan hoe deze auteur de relaties tussen zijn personages uitdiept en van de niet kleffe, maar levensechte eindes.

This was predictable, wordy and I didn't feel much of a spark between the main characters.
But I still really enjoyed the reading experience and I can't bear to give it any lower than 4 stars! The characters were intensely flawed, there were moments where disbelief needed to be suspended and times when I really did wonder whether the 'thing' the two characters felt for each other was actually love. Yet there was also moments that were highly relateable, moments that gave me a fuzzy warm feeling and moments that made me smile.
I recommend this book if only to take away some warm fuzzy feels! I can't wait to see what Andy writes next. Also, awesome cover or what?!

The Trouble with Henry and Zoe is a modern romance novel, where the main protagonists are ... - you've guessed it! - Henry and Zoe.
Henry is a dentist who ran away to London after leaving his fiance at the altar. He's not very proud of himself. When in London he works as a part-time hairdresser, one-day per week as a dentist.
Zoe has something painful to deal with as well. She used to be a very stressed lawyer, but not she's an editor at the publishing house.
When Zoe and Henry meet, their connection is smooth and natural. Zoe has plans to travel the world soon, so they embark on a "friends with benefits" kind of relationship.
I'll leave it at that.
This was a simple, life-like novel, without over-the-top dramas or situations.
Andy Jones did a great job writing our heroes, they both feel authentic, their struggles and insecurities are relatable.
A nice novel to pass the time with.
4 stars
