LoveReading Says
Polly Potter—overlooked at work, taken for granted at home—finds she is happy only at her weekly creative writing class, where she has created the character Sabrina Anderson, who is everything that she is not. Sabrina is outspoken, respected and loved. But after a freak accident leaves Polly with amnesia and a belief that she is actually Sabrina Anderson, she begins a new life by the sea.
“The Happiest Ever After” by Milly Johnson finds Polly/Sabrina living the life of her dreams, where people are kind and respectful, while admiring her business acumen and kindness. If only she could remember her life before the accident.
Once again, Johnson writes a wholly entertaining novel about a woman who finds herself and a community who loves her. While Polly/Sabrina can’t remember the specifics of her previous life, she does retain the skills she had to help businesses who are struggling. These skills come in handy as she joins the staff of the local Italian restaurant (headed by the dreamy Teddy), who face a next-door competitor with a dirty tricks campaign to drive them out of business.
Johnson is the Queen of the Rom Com and her talents show no sign of letting up. Readers will root for Sabrina as she lives her new life while she tries to remember her old one. More than that, there are laughs aplenty between chapters with the hilarious “corrections” from the local newspaper, “The Daily Trumpet.”
This is another page-turning triumph from Johnson. You’ll laugh. You might cry. But above all, you’ll get a happy ending, and that’s a wonderful thing.

The Happiest Ever After Synopsis
Polly Potter is surviving, not thriving. She used to love her job – until her mentor died and her new boss decided to make her life hell. She used to love her partner Chris – until he cheated on her, and now she can’t forget. The only place where her life is working is on the pages of the novel she is writing – there she can create a feistier, bolder, more successful version of herself – as the fictional Sabrina Anderson.
But what if it was possible to start over again? To leave everything behind, forget all that went before, and live the life you’d always dreamed of?
After a set of unforeseen circumstances, Polly ends up believing she really IS Sabrina, living at the heart of a noisy Italian family restaurant by the sea. Run by Teddy, the son of her new landlady Marielle, it’s a much-loved place, facing threat of closure as a rival restaurant moves in next door. Sabrina can’t remember her life as Polly, but she knows she is living a different life from the one she used to have.
But what if this new life could belong to her after all?
