“When Happily Ever After Fails is a brilliantly funny faking-it rom-com. 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. Her relationships and the messy areas between love and friendship are brilliantly explored. A witty, well-paced, and original story—gimme all the Courtney Deane books with a big glass of rosé, please!”
