She almost choked over his words, and Shefin didn’t look much more comfortable himself. But the fairy queens had declared that Lena and Shefin were destined to love each other for all of time, and just because Lena couldn’t imagine ever feeling that way about the boy didn’t mean she was going to argue with the godmothers. Zora Books Her Happy Ever After is the laugh out loud, sophomore novel by author Taj McCoy. Zora is the owner of an indie bookstore. When author Lawrence Michaels agrees to an event at the bookstore, Zora is delighted. She’s been crushing on him for years and this just might prove to be her chance at romance. But at the end of it all, Zora finds herself with two men vying for her attention. Now to figure out who to choose.

Happily Ever After lasts just under 20 minutes. Suppose we take a look at the our YouTube video of Happily Ever After; we can see that the show lasts just under 20 minutes. Take a look for yourself below!Surrounding Zora is her grandmother who is absolutely a delight but a bit obsessive with grandbabies. And a fabulous friend and co-worker in Emma, who is definitely a trip and grabs the scene over and over. Well, you know my motto,” Lena’s father said, glaring at Shefin. “Humans show their might through moral judgment and reverence for the fairy queens, not strength of arms.” The fairy queens’ ball isn’t what you think it is. You’re living a lie. Come to Mrs. Hubbard’s store if you want to learn the truth. Updated Oct. 11, 2023: The more I reflect on this book, the dumber I think it is. Zora is one of the worst MCs I've read in a while. She's doesn't display any of the competence or smarts that we're constantly told she has. I still can't get over her calling a marriage therapist to help her figure out which of the two dudes she just met is her perfect match. Someone also pointed out the book's hypocrisy of making a big show out of prayer and saying grace while having the leads jump into bed without nary a conversation. So honoured to be part of the #hearourvoices tour for Zora Books Her Happily Ever After by Taj McCoy!

In the second part of the book, Tashiro explores why these instincts are irrelevant by providing scientific studies that examine the relationship between certain desires and martial satisfaction. He argues that these desires do not necessarily lead to the satisfaction that individuals anticipate. The third part of the book provides practical tips on how to make informed choices when looking for a partner, suggesting that individuals should focus on emotional stability and good personality traits rather than physical attractiveness or wealth. The trouble with this book is that (as I'm sure Tashiro himself realized) the above findings aren't too interesting. He adds some useful tips-- family/friends are better judges of potential partners than you are due to your blinders, and personality traits are fairly stable over time, so don't bank on changing your partner--and again, while obvious, he has rigorous support for these propositions. Obviously, some authors piqued my interest more than others. Piper Drake mentioned food, spiciness, and being Thai, and Taj piped in all knowingly. So it was a true pleasure to add her new release to my AANHPI reads.

When do Happily Ever After fireworks return to Disney World?

I liked the book a lot, but I felt that there were obvious stuff missing: discussing how common values, goals or interests influence relationship quality or what to do when you're the one that's less than a perfect match.
