See My Review Below!!!
Twentysomething Abigail Gardner’s life is circling the drain. Her parents are dead, her “like a brother” is in love with her, and her nascent career as an art teacher was fully squashed by an unfortunate viral incident involving sophomores and Spanx.
But just as that whirlpool feels poised to suck her down completely, she’s granted a second chance: she lands a teaching job at Excelsior Primm, one of Philadelphia’s oldest and most prestigious preparatory academies. Only problem is, instead of teaching art she’ll be stuck teaching her least favorite subject—literature—and her least favorite theme: tragedy.
Tired of being stuck in her own tragic tale, Abigail starts rewriting every sad ending she can get her hands on, in and out of the classroom. To her surprise, her life soon starts to resemble the fairy tales she adores—great job, hot guy, a career gaining recognition. But when an unexpected plot twist threatens to derail her happy ending, Abigail begins to realize why these conclusions are so hard to come by.

My Review...
This debut novel is quite the tale.
I loved the premise of creating happy endings to tragedies. This theme is carried throughout the book.
This is the story of Abigail, but it is so much more. I loved the secondary characters and how they brought their own stories along for the ride. Abigail was a font of hopeful optimism, even when her world had tragedies. I was rooting for her hard to get the happily ever after she deserved, even with the bumps along the way.
The interactions between Abigail and the cast of characters were well-written.
You are going to feel all the feels in this story. The charm, the laughter, and yes, even a bit of tears are coming your way.
Congrats Ms. Deane for the lovely new story you have graced the reading world with.
