      Stell dir vor, du triffst die Liebe deines Lebens – und es passt einfach gerade nicht. Was die Liebe angeht, haben Henry und Zoe viel gemeinsam – sie haben es immer verbockt. Und sie begegnen einander zum denkbar ungünstigsten Zeitpunkt: Henry fragt sich, ob er mit der Flucht von der eigenen Hochzeit den größten Fehler seines Lebens begangen hat. Und Zoe wird nach dem Ende ihrer letzten Beziehung von solchen Schuldgefühlen geplagt, dass sie wirklich anderes im Sinn hat, als sich darum zu kümmern, ob sie womöglich gerade den Mann ihres Lebens getroffen hat … Eine ebenso lustige wie herzzerreißende Geschichte darüber, wie aus den schlechtesten Entscheidungen das Beste erwachsen kann.

Over the course of his quest he sleeps with a colleague, a colleague of a friend, a friend of a friend, a friend of a friend s wife, the estate agent selling his flat and several more besides. Everything is going, if not well, then at least according to plan and then Tom meets Verity. Whether she s The One remains to be seen, but she s certainly more than just another number. "
