Years after turning her husband from beast back to man and becoming his queen, Belle finds out she's finally going to have a child. But before she can announce the wondrous news, she catches him cheating and watches her "happily ever after" go up in flames. Turning to her friends for the strength to land with grace, she realizes she's not the only one at a crossroads:Cinderella, a mother of four drowning in royal duties, is facing her thirtieth birthday and questioning everything she's done (or hasn't) with her life.Rapunzel, a sex-crazed socialite and one-woman powerhouse, is on a self-destructive quest to make up for twenty years locked away in a tower.Penelopea, an outsider with a mother-in-law from hell, is harboring a secret that could ruin everything at any moment.One part Sex and the City, two parts Desperate Housewives, and three parts Brothers Grimm, Desperately Ever After picks up where the original tales left off-and reimagines them à la Gregory Maguire's Wicked. With the wit of authors like Jennifer Weiner and the vision of ABC's Once Upon a Time, the women of Desperately Ever After rescue each other from life's trials with laughter, wine, and a scandalous new take on happily ever after.

This book was a bit slow for me to get into during the first quarter of the book. I found myself putting it down a few times. I'm not sure if it was because the opening scene (involving Belle) wasn't appealing to me or if I just had to get used to the playful tone of the story, but it didn't completely grab my attention till a quarter of the way through. But once things started to pick up, I was hooked. I couldn't put it down.
There were quite a lot of funny parts that had me snickering. I fell in love with the characters, even the supporting ones who popped up here and there. Cinderella's parts of the story were definitely my favorite out of the three. I was pleasantly surprised about Ethan and the mystery involving his identity. This whole story was wrapped up nicely in the end and had me wanting more.
Overall, I had a lot of fun reading this book and would recommend it to fairytale oficionados. I'm looking forward to the sequel! (
