Full synopsis

Is loneliness worth the price of freedom? Polly Park thinks so—until she meets Spike, who’s set to leave for Australia in six months. No strings, no mess. But falling in love—and a surprise discovery after he’s gone—leaves Polly’s life forever changed.

Three years later, Polly is a single mum to her daughter, Rowan. She’s dating Max and may finally be ready to open her heart again. Then Spike reappears with a glamorous girlfriend, throwing Polly’s world—and her emotions—into turmoil. As old feelings resurface, Polly must navigate where her heart stands with both Spike and Max, and consider what’s best for her daughter.

The Trouble with Love is a witty rom-com that tackles love’s messiness. If love is the answer, what is the question?

Quirky, charming and laugh-out-loud funny. Polly and Spike are my favourite romantic couple for a very long time… It's a feel-good book for Renaissance Women and Men everywhere.’ Julie Cohen

Here's what readers have to say about this book....

Kate Pennycook

The Trouble With Love is a heartfelt, witty exploration of love, timing, and second chances. Polly is a relatable heroine, juggling single motherhood, emotional baggage, and the unexpected reappearance of the one that got away. The story blends humor and vulnerability beautifully, with just enough romantic tension to keep you guessing. While some plot points felt a bit predictable, the emotional core—especially Polly’s journey of self-discovery and growth—really shines. A warm, engaging rom-com that embraces love in all its messy, complicated glory.

Amy Ellam-Pugh

Well written and good story building. I really enjoyed it! Having travelled to Bristol, it was nice to read about it and think “I know where that is”.

Catey

This was a wonderful book! The story was very sweet and I loved the cute romance between the main couple. I highly recommend this book.

Reynaldo Medina Reyes

This book offers a breezy, heartwarming escape, filled with witty banter, endearing mishaps, and just enough chemistry to keep the pages turning. The love interest is suitably charming, with enough depth to make their dynamic engaging, even if some of their conflicts feel a bit predictable. While the book excels in humor and sweet moments, the protagonist’s personal growth occasionally takes a backseat to the romantic plot. A deeper exploration of their emotional journey could have added more weight to their happily-ever-after. That said, the supporting cast adds plenty of fun, and the romantic tension is well-paced, making it easy to root for the central couple. The writing is light and engaging, perfect for readers looking for a feel-good story with a few laughs along the way. If you don’t mind a little predictability and enjoy banter-filled romance, this book is a charming pick—just don’t expect too much introspection between the meet-cutes and grand gestures.

Zoe Hickman

The Trouble with Love is a witty, warm-hearted, and emotionally engaging novel that captures the chaos and charm of navigating love, life, and self-discovery. Dun's writing is fresh and lively, with sharp dialogue and relatable characters. While the plot leans on familiar romantic comedy tropes, Dun's clever storytelling and emotional insight elevate it, making it more than just another love story.
