Fairytale meets feminism in Luci Adams's Not That Kind of Ever After, a frothy adventure of one woman's journey to claim happily ever after in times of serial dating, swiping right, and the quest to find your soulmate.Bella Marble's life isn't what she imagined. Instead of an author, she's a receptionist at a small press. Instead of happily married, she's single, and her lovey-dovey parents are divorcing. And to top it off, her best friend of twenty-nine years, Ellie Mathews, is moving out and marrying the heinously boring Mark. (He's not worthy of her. No one could be). Bella feels rudderless, only slightly soothed by time spent with Ellie's (not hot) brother, (he's not hot) Marty (okay, he's hot. But he's also the aggravating brother she never had-right)?When Marty recommends Bella stop looking for "the one" and just have fun, Bella finds a new, empowered side of herself. But when she posts a fairy-tale retelling of a disastrous one night stand on a storytelling app, all of a sudden, Bella has become @B.Enchanted. And she's gone viral.Now, Bella's in a fight with Ellie, her new roommates are so, deeply, weird, and the pressure is mounting to find new fairy tales to write about-but she's got to live them first."As side splittingly hilarious as it is empowering and emotional, Not That Kind of Ever After is a sparkling debut."--Helena Hunting, bestselling author
