‘Happily Never After’ by Lynn Painter offers a contemporary romance with a twist. While the premise is intriguing, the execution falls short in delivering depth to the characters and their relationships. The storyline feels predictable, lacking the complexity and emotional resonance found in standout romance novels. However, for readers seeking witty dialogue and a light and easy read, this book is a delightful read for fans of a fun romance.
This contemporary romance pairs well with Mailly Brut Reserve Grand Cru Champagne. This champagne is bright with its floral and fruity aromas but balanced with fine effervescence and depth. Ideal for raising your glass to a good romance and celebrations...like a wedding or maybe not :).
“...I do think love is a gamble and most people walk away from the table with less than they brought.”
