A PopSugar Best Romance of December A Bustle Most Anticipated Read for December An Amazon Best of the Month Selection “The best of the fairy tale world. Readers will fall head over heels for both the quirky town and the achingly sweet second-chance romance.” —Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW First in a magical new series full of edgy and hilarious antics, this is the read you need to finally give your year the fairy-tale ending it deserves! An enchanting story of love, dreams, and second chances—a delightful read for cold winter nights that fans of Christina Lauren, Tessa Bailey, and Kerry Winfrey can’t miss… If love is the source of all the magic in the universe, and the town of Ever After, Missouri, is the epicenter of enchantment, then the locals are in dire need of a reboot. At least according to resident fairy godmothers Petunia, Jonquil, and Bluebonnet. Their solution? Blow a bit of fairy dust in the direction of those in need of romance. . . . What could possibly go wrong? SOME KIND OF AWFUL . . . Lucky Fujiki’s first name is a cosmic joke. Her luck is so bad, even the number seven steers clear of her. But when her adorable godmothers ask for a favor, Lucky can’t say no. After all, it’s just a little one—to save the world’s magic. Lucky can already feel the bad juju waiting to strike. And her mission is even worse than she imagined: to promote Ever After as a wedding destination by faking a marriage to her first love and long-time ex, Ransom Payne—he of the Embarrassing Incident that neither of them will ever live down . . . OR ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL? Ransom Payne has spent years building an impressive new reputation for himself, and now his godmothers want him to pretend to wed the one girl he’d like most to forget? Sure, weddings in Ever After could be a huge boon for his chocolate business, but risking more up-close-and-personal time with Lucky? Considering the stakes, it’s a curse he’ll have to bear, at the risk of being humiliated—or perhaps, bewitched . . .

This is a cute, uplifting, and quirky little romcom book about a magic town. If you need a quick and light read that will make you smile, DeWylde has written the book for you.
This teetered at a 3 but ultimately I can't give it 3 stars. The idea is certainly cute, I love fairy tales and the idea of saving small towns. However, there were a lot of issues that made this particular book not a fun read. And this should've definitely been a fun read.
First, the writing felt very juvenile. It did not feel like being in an adults head. The For the record, I also DNFd “In a Holidaze” for this very same reason so if you liked that then maybe you won't be as bothered by this as I was.
The plotlines were too many for such a short book and they moved very fast. It made it not only hard to follow but also hard to care because so much was just skated over. I wish this book just took more time with each of the plot points or thinned out some of them. Similarly, the balance between the plot and the fantasy element felt...extremely off. When they intermingled together and we finally saw the connection that was interesting but then we took a pause for the romantic drama. The pause felt way too long and by the time we got back to the fantasy aspect I ended up just skimming until the end because I just could not keep up with all of the changes. Overall I will not be continuing with this series.
