Abigail is a perfect heroine—equal parts messy and lovable—and this story is as much about her personal journey as it is about her blooming secret romance.

A witty, well-paced, and original story—gimme all the Courtney Deane books with a big glass of rosé, please!” —Lizzy Dent, author of The Summer Job and The Sweetest Revenge “Courtney Deane offers up a radiant debut in When Happily Ever After Fails.
