'Funny, wistful and wise, I loved this book' Katie Fforde
Absorbing storytelling at its very best from the Sunday Times bestselling author.
The past catches up with you no matter how far you try to run
This is a story of a girl who doesnt believe in happy endings. Or happy families. Its the story of Eleanor Bee, a shy, book-loving girl who vows to turn herself into someone bright, shiny and confident, someone sophisticated. Someone who knows how life works.
But life has a funny way of catching us unawares. Turns out that Elle doesnt know everything about love. Or life. Or how to keep the ones we love safe.
Absorbing, poignant and unforgettable, Happily Ever After is a compelling story of a fractured family and a girl who doesnt believe in love.
