Summary
When story-lover Anna takes over Longhampton's bookshop, it's her dream come true. And not just because it gets her away from her three rowdy stepchildren and their hyperactive dalmatian.
Unpacking boxes filled with childhood classics, Anna can't shake the feeling that maybe her own fairy-tale ending isn't all that she'd hoped for. But as the stories of love, adventure, secret gardens, lost dogs, wicked witches and giant peaches breathe new life into the neglected shop, Anna and her customers get swept up in the magic, too.
Even Anna's best friend, Michelle - who categorically doesn't believe in true love and handsome princes - isn't immune. But when secrets from Michelle's own childhood come back to haunt her and disaster threatens Anna's home, will the wisdom and charm of the stories in the bookshop help the two friends - and those they love - find their own happy ever afters?

Finally - an amazing story!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Secret of Happy Ever After to be better than the print version?
This is the perfect summer read and Lucy Price-Lewis narration really brought it to life. The story was dynamic and really kept you gripped. I loved the constant flux of characters that were expertly interwoven and highly entertaining.
Have you listened to any of Lucy Price-Lewis’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Lucy Price-Lewis is a personal favourite for me when it comes to narration. She never disappoints.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Turning it off and putting it down to go back to life in general was hard.

Like a warm blanket
I loved this book - a home shop, a bookshop, two totally different women, two dogs and lots of family dramas! Narration was brilliant - she got the intonation and voices just right. I felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket listening to a life story that I somehow knew would turn out good in the end! A must listen!

Great story
loved the story and the narrator. very easy to get into and loose yourself in Michelle and Anna 's world.
the only thing is it felt like the last chapters of the book were rushed. But overall loved it.

The Secret of ....
It took a bit of willpower to keep listening to this one. I maybe should have given up and ‘sent’ it back. I admit to skipping few minutes here and there. The story was predictable and most of the characters were just annoying (especially Anna) and thoroughly unlikeable.
Sorry

Fantastic
From the beginning l was hooked and listened as much as possible. I tried to limit myself and try and make the book last until my next credit but couldn't manage it. This is a story of a complicated family and friends. l loved how the characters gelled together. I don't want to give too much away but I'm still thinking about all the characters days after l finished the book and wish there was a sequel. If you love family, friends, dogs and shops this is the book for you. I promise you will love it.

Comforting heart warming
Complexity of second family life and all that brings of being a stepmother. Friendships and secrets.
This story contained all of these and was beautifully narrated. Thoroughly enjoyable. Totally recommend.

Books galore
Really enjoyed this book, all the ups and down of family life. The narrator was great with all the voices.
I would loved to have an epilogue 6 months later, just to see if Anna finally got her Hearts desire.
