What would happen if our most beloved fairy tale princesses lived in the same time, were the best of friends, and had the dreams, dilemmas, and libidos of the modern woman? How would their stories unfold after the wedding bells stopped ringing?
Years after turning her husband from beast back to man and becoming his queen, Belle finds out she’s finally going to have a child. But before she can announce the news, she catches him cheating and watches her “happily ever after” go up in flames. Turning to her friends for the strength to land with grace, she realizes she’s not the only one at a crossroads:
– Cinderella, a mother of four drowning in royal duties, is facing her 30th birthday and questioning everything she’s done (or hasn’t) with her life.
– Rapunzel, a sex-crazed socialite and one-woman powerhouse, is on a self-destructive quest to make up for 20 years locked away in a tower.
– Penelopea, an outsider with a mother-in-law from hell, is harboring a secret that could ruin everything at any moment.
One part Sex and the City, two parts Real Housewives, and three parts Brothers Grimm, Desperately Ever After sprinkles women’s fiction with elements of fantasy … and asks readers to rethink everything they know about happy endings. With laughter, wine, and a brand-new take on old-fashioned chivalry, these friends see each other through life’s trials one secret at a time.
