Happily Ever Afters

Jane the
Virgin meets To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
in this charming debut romantic comedy filled with Black Girl Magic. Perfect
for fans of Mary H. K. Choi and Nicola Yoon, with crossover appeal for readers
of Jasmine Guillory and Talia Hibbert romances.

Sixteen-year-old Tessa Johnson has never felt
like the protagonist in her own life. She’s rarely seen herself reflected in
the pages of the romance novels she loves. The only place she’s a true leading lady
is in her own writing—in the swoony love stories she shares only with Caroline,
her best friend and #1 devoted reader.

When Tessa is accepted into the creative
writing program of a prestigious art school, she’s excited to finally let her
stories shine. But when she goes to her first workshop, the words are
just...gone. Fortunately, Caroline has a solution: Tessa just needs to find
some inspiration in a real-life love story of her own. And she’s ready with a
list of romance novel-inspired steps to a happily ever after. Nico, the
brooding artist who looks like he walked out of one of Tessa’s stories, is cast
as the perfect Prince Charming.

But as Tessa checks each item off Caroline’s
list, she gets further and further away from herself. She risks losing everything
she cares about—including the surprising bond she develops with sweet Sam, who
lives across the street. She’s well on her way to having her own real-life love
story, but is it the one she wants, after all?
