[close] If our favorite fairy tale princesses had the dreams, dilemmas, and libidos of the modern woman … what would happen when the wedding bells stopped?

Sprinkling women’s fiction with elements of fantasy, Desperately Ever After combines “Sex and the City,” “Desperate Housewives,” and the Brothers Grimm. At its core, the debut novel is about a group of ordinary women coming to terms with how their lives have turned out. They just happen to live in castles.
