Andi Glover loves nothing more than a good book.
Any book in fact because when you’re raised by unconventional parents who think school’s for squares, alongside a deeply conventional sister who escapes home as soon as she can, fiction is eminently preferable to reality.
The only problem is that fiction isn’t the best way to learn about the real world. When Andi starts her new live-in job at Templewood Hall for the eccentric Lady Dawe and her enigmatic son Hugo, it’s tempting to think she’s fallen into the pages of one of her favourite gothic novels.
But the plot twists at Templewood Hall are stranger than fiction and it’s not long before Andi questions if she’s living in a romance novel or a whodunnit. Bumps in the night, a missing heir, ghostly apparitions and secrets that have been kept for generations – the mysteries mount up. Then there’s the inscrutable gardener who seems to appear when needed – is Andi right to hope for a happily-ever-after end to her story?

Why Should You Read It?
Jane Lovering’s Happily Ever After offers a charming mix of gothic mystery, romance, and quirky humor. Andi Glover, a book-loving heroine raised by unconventional parents, lands a job at Templewood Hall, where the secrets run as deep as the eccentricities. Between ghostly apparitions, a missing heir, and a brooding love interest, Andi finds herself caught between a romance novel and a whodunnit.
The novel’s premise is fun, and the gothic vibes add an intriguing layer, but the pacing felt uneven at times. Some plot threads meandered, and while Andi is an endearing character, her journey sometimes lacked depth. The romance had potential, but the chemistry between Andi and her love interest never fully ignited for me.
That said, the witty writing and the blend of mystery and romance make it an entertaining read, especially for those who enjoy books about book lovers. If you’re in the mood for a cozy, slightly offbeat story with a gothic twist, this one might be worth a read!
