Happily Ever After (Original)
Happily Ever After (Original) | Harriet Evans
7 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
A poignant, romantic, and delightful new novel about a young woman who refuses to believe happy endings are real, from internationally bestselling author Harriet Evans. In her blockbuster international bestsellers, Harriet Evans perfectly captures the complex lives of young twenty-first-century career women with an effortlessly readable . . . comic style and loveable characters ("Marie Claire," UK). At twenty-two, Eleanor Bee is sure about three things: she wants to move to London and become a literary superstar; she wants to be able to afford to buy a coffee and croissant every morning; and after seeing what divorce did to her parents especially her mum she doesn t believe in happy endings. Elle moves to London. She gets a job at Bluebird Books, a charmingly old-fashioned publisher. She falls out of bars, wears too-short skirts, makes lots of mistakes, and feels like she s learning nothing and everything at the same time. And then, out of the blue, she falls in love, and that s when she realizes just how much growing up she has to do. Ten years on, Elle lives in New York, and you could say she has found success; certainly her life has changed in ways she could never have predicted. But no matter where you go and how much you try to run away, the past has a funny way of catching up with you. . . ."

PagesByTheWater I swear I thought this was my box for a second we have the same handwriting!! 6y
the.bookish.valkyrie @PagesByTheWater nice! It‘s always weird to see something you didn‘t write in your handwriting, right? There was a lady at my work with the same name as me and when I saw paperwork she‘d signed, her signature (on the first name) was identical! 6y

This replacement #HappilyEverAfterSwap package shipped today to @Wonderwoman89 with much love and best wishes. It is a large priority mail box and should arrive Tuesday — I‘ll email you the tracking info. I couldn‘t find all the same goodies I put in the original box that was misdelivered and stolen, but I think you‘ll be happy with the 🦹‍♀️ villainy theme. Hope you love it! @Chrissyreadit
