I so enjoy reviewing for My Weekly magazine online, but when it’s a book from a favourite author, the pleasure is enhanced all the more! Today I’m sharing details of my review of The Happiest Ever After by Milly Johnson.

The Happiest Ever After is published by Simon and Schuster on 15th February 2024 and is available for purchase through the links here.

The Happiest Ever After

Polly Potter is surviving, not thriving. She used to love her job – until her mentor died and her new boss decided to make her life hell. She used to love her partner Chris – until he cheated on her, and now she can’t forget. The only place where her life is working is on the pages of the novel she is writing – there she can create a feistier, bolder, more successful version of herself – as the ­fictional Sabrina Anderson.

But what if it was possible to start over again? To leave everything behind, forget all that went before, and live the life you’d always dreamed of?

After a set of unforeseen circumstances, Polly ends up believing she really IS Sabrina, living at the heart of a noisy Italian family restaurant by the sea. Run by Teddy, the son of her new landlady Marielle, it’s a much-loved place, facing threat of closure as a rival restaurant moves in next door. Sabrina can’t remember her life as Polly, but she knows she is living a different life from the one she used to have.

But what if this new life could belong to her after all?

My Review of The Happiest Ever After

My full review of The Happiest Ever After can be found on the My Weekly website here.

However, here I can say that The Happiest Ever After is wonderful.

Imagine you’ve had a really hard, trying day. You’ve now enjoyed a long soak in a fragrant bath and have just slipped into bed in fresh linen and nightwear.  That sense of pleasure, comfort and relief is the way The Happiest Ever After made me feel. Gorgeous stuff from Milly writing at her most authentic best. I just loved The Happiest Ever After.
