About this listen

 Life can be an adventure story, if you write it yourself!

‘Milly Johnson always delivers an absolutely cracking read’ Katie Fforde

The new romantic, heartwarming, feelgood novel from the much-loved Sunday Times bestselling author, Milly Johnson.

'Gloriously funny, witty, wise and wonderful, this book is a total joy!’ Alexandra Potter
‘A delicious warm hug of a book’ Jill Mansell
‘Guaranteed to put a spring in your step – I loved it’ Jo Thomas
'Gorgeous, heartwarming and moving, The Happiest Ever After is so original and brilliantly written in the typically funny and clever Johnson style' Lucy Vine

Polly Potter is surviving, not thriving. She used to love her job – until her mentor died and her new boss decided to make her life hell. She used to love her partner Chris – until he cheated on her, and now she can’t forget. The only place where her life is working is on the pages of the novel she is writing – there she can create a feistier, bolder, more successful version of herself – as the ­fictional Sabrina Anderson.

But what if it was possible to start over again? To leave everything behind, forget all that went before, and live the life you’d always dreamed of?

After a set of unforeseen circumstances, Polly ends up believing she really IS Sabrina, living at the heart of a noisy Italian family restaurant by the sea. Run by Teddy, the son of her new landlady Marielle, it’s a much-loved place, facing threat of closure as a rival restaurant moves in next door. Sabrina can’t remember her life as Polly, but she knows she is living a different life from the one she used to have.

But what if this new life could belong to her after all?

‘Reading a Milly Johnson book is like spending time with a best friend – you always end up feeling better about the world. Written with genuine warmth and heart, they’re an absolute treat’ Lucy Diamond
‘One of those novels that draws you in to its world and makes you wish you could be friends with Shay. A tantalising juicy tale full of twists and turns that kept me gripped. Warm, funny and moving. One to curl up with and devour’ Ruth Jones
‘The feeling you get when you read a Milly Johnson book should be bottled and made available on the NHS’ Debbie Johnson©2024 Milly Johnson. All rights reserved. (P)2024 Simon & Schuster, UK.

Millie at her best … a wonderful story , Combination of lovely friends & family combined with Delectably devious characters …..and not to forget the crazy and hilarious headlines at The Daily Trumpet .
Good narration

Millie in top form

I like the advice given to businesses and trying to change things for the better. Sadly it all comes with soppy romance which I have to suffer through. But Milly’s books are good

I liked the business side

I found Happiest ever after quite different to Milly's usual writing style, but in the best of ways though. Just love how Milly draws you right into her books to the point that you feel you're almost part of it as you're so engaged with the characters.
Terrific story, Daily Trumpet faux pa's absolutely hilarious.
If you haven't read any of Milly's books cheer your life right up by starting now.

Superb

I loved most of the characters in the book and loved to hate some too! A typical Milly Johnson book in which I know I’m guaranteed a good read whether I’ll be wiping away tears of sadness or laughter as the one liners and northern wit sings off the pages of her wonderful warm stories of love and friendship. Being bosom of female camaraderie is always welcome whether it’s in our own lives or those we feel that we make in Milly’s wonderful books. Can’t wait for the next one!

Warm cosy book of love,loss and friendship.
