An Enchanted Moment on Ever After Street

What it’s about?

An Enchanted Moment on Ever After Street
A picture-perfect town, a place where dreams come true. Welcome to Ever After Street…

A tale as old as time…

Since her mum’s death, Marnie Platt has shut herself away from everyone who cares about her. Worse, her beloved bookshop on Ever After Street is suffering too. With sales down and the shop’s garden falling into disrepair, Marnie risks losing the very last thing she loves. Until a chance encounter with her surly and reclusive neighbour….

Dark and brooding, Darcy O’Connell likes to keep himself to himself. But when he hears Marnie needs help, he can’t turn his back on her. Soon they are spending most evenings together in her enchanted garden and a friendship starts to bloom…

With the help of old and new friends on Ever After Street, Marnie’s bookshop begins to thrive again, and with Darcy’s kindness, she starts to get her sparkle back too. She just can’t understand why Darcy continues to shut himself away – especially from her. Can she convince him it isn’t too late to embrace life, and maybe love, again?

Because every story, even theirs, deserves a happy ending….

What I think:

This is such a heart-warming feel-good read.

Ever After Street sounds like a dream of a place. All of the shops are fairy tale themed including the wonderful Tale as Old of Time book shop.

Book store owner Marnie is still grieving the loss of her mother. Running the shop together was their shared dream and she has been lost ever since. The shop is struggling and Marnie has lost her sparkle. Things come to a head when she receives a complaint about the state of her garden, and with the shop’s lease up for renewal she needs a plan to get it sorted.

Next door is ‘The Beast’s Enchanted Rose Garden’ a florist filled with beautiful roses. The owner is the mysterious Darcy, he hides away from the customers and even Marnie has never seen him in person.

I loved the developing relationship between Marnie and Darcy. Both of them are lonely and lack confidence. Darcy encourages Marnie in her plans to make her mark with the bookshop and helps her with the garden revamp. She helps him rekindle his love for reading and overcome some demons of his own.

This is a bookworm’s dream. Lots of bookish references, a wonderful literature festival and real passion for literature shines through the book. The characters are all so likeable you will be rooting for all of them and wishing for truly fairytale happy endings.

There is so much in this book to make you smile. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
