  *Starred Review* Writer of reimagined fairy tales Charlotte Kingsley is devastated when she receives yet another rejection for her latest book and is caught off-guard when she finds out that her best friend and downstairs neighbor, Anders, may be engaged. Angry as can be, she takes time off from her copy writing job, pounds out a self-help book, and sends it to her dream agent. She is shocked when she is invited to New York and ends up with a seven-figure advance. Alas, the publicist changes her name and makes her change her appearance, household furnishings, and social media accounts, dumping all her previous followers. Even though she has never wanted to marry or have kids she is happy when Anders, who wants a family, decides not to marry his girlfriend, and the two best friends start dating. Family issues arise, and while getting everything she ever thought she wanted, Charlotte feels as though true happiness may be slipping away. Anders is a hunk who is also thoughtful, kind, smart, generous, and loyal, but can Charlotte have him and her career, too? This sweet, heartfelt tale of authentic characters facing intriguing challenges is at once very romantic and charmingly chaste. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
