Synopsis

From the internationally acclaimed author comes a semi-true story.

Happily After Ever, a novel

Your fairytale is yours to write.

"It started with a magic wand. Granted, it was the type of wand that was pink, sparkly and cost $1.99 at Target... but that was beside the point. The symbolism, I felt, was more important than its power."

Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy.

Girl moves across the world for love.

But it's not until after the "Happily Ever After," that she understands what true love is.

As a young woman follows her heart from the U.S. to Europe, she believes she's stepping into the life she was always meant to have. Instead, she finds herself navigating the complicated realities of adulthood, identity, and the gap between the stories we're told about love and the truth we discover for ourselves.

Against a backdrop of cobblestone streets, mountain peaks, and life-changing choices, she embarks on a deeply-relatable journey of self-discovery. As she confronts expectations, heartbreak, and the courage required to rewrite her own story, she learns that true love isn't about finding someone else-it's about finding yourself.

Perfect for readers who enjoyed the emotional self-discovery of "Eat, Pray, Love," the honest millennial voice of "Everything I Know About Love," and the reflective journey of "Wild."

------>. Heartfelt, insightful, and relatable, Happily After Ever is a coming-of-age story for anyone who has ever chased a dream, crossed an ocean for love, or wondered what comes after the fairy tale ends. An easy Book Club pick, perfect for readers of Stephanie Danler, Colleen Hoover and Jenny Han. Thought-provoking, heartfelt, and impossible to put down, this novel sparks the kind of conversations that linger long after the final page.
