A moving, sharply observed story of chance encounters, complicated families and the unexpected ways love can change a life.
What if the stranger in the next seat is the person who changes everything?
Hopeless romantic Jo is flying from London to Chicago to stop her ex-fiancé's wedding, convinced he is the soulmate she let slip away.
Dean, the cynical stranger beside her, is returning to the city he now calls home after a brief visit to London. Experience has taught him not to trust anyone, especially where love is concerned.
They could not be more different. Yet somewhere over the Atlantic, Jo and Dean begin to find in each other what neither realised was missing.
Once they land, however, the lives awaiting them are more closely connected than either could imagine.
Their flight may be over, but the journey that will change them both has only just begun.
Heartfelt, romantic and intensely emotional, The State We're In is a contemporary love story for readers of Jojo Moyes and Paige Toon, featuring a chance encounter, two complete opposites and a connection neither of them expected.
