Andi Glover loves nothing more than a good book.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Any book in fact because when you\u2019re raised by unconventional parents who think school\u2019s for squares, alongside a deeply conventional sister who escapes home as soon as she can, fiction is eminently preferable to reality.<\/em><\/p>\n

The only problem is that fiction isn\u2019t the best way to learn about the real world. When Andi starts her new live-in job at Templewood Hall for the eccentric Lady Dawe and her enigmatic son Hugo, it\u2019s tempting to think she\u2019s fallen into the pages of one of her favourite gothic novels.<\/em><\/p>\n

But the plot twists at Templewood Hall are stranger than fiction and it\u2019s not long before Andi questions if she\u2019s living in a romance novel or a whodunnit. Bumps in the night, a missing heir, ghostly apparitions and secrets that have been kept for generations \u2013 the mysteries mount up. Then there\u2019s the inscrutable gardener who seems to appear when needed \u2013 is Andi right to hope for a happily-ever-after end to her story?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Is it possible to read too many books? A strange question for a book blogger to ask and, before I read\u00a0Happily Ever After,\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019d have said absolutely not. But Andi Glover isn\u2019t a normal reader. Brought up by unconventional parents, she has never lived in a house or been to school. Instead, she has travelled around in a converted bus in a nomadic lifestyle and has learnt about life from reading novels. <\/strong>This hasn\u2019t necessarily given her the most grounded approach to life and she often lets her imagination take over. Which may have not been a problem before she ended up at Templewood Hall, inhabited by the eccentric Lady Tanith, her secretive son Hugo and possibly a plethora of ghosts. The most down-to-earth creature in the house is a cat. Andi starts to feel like she might be living in her own Gothic romance novel and lets her literary tendencies take over\u2026<\/p>\n

This book is a quirky wild ride through the mind of a hopeless book addict who finds herself surrounded by the cast of one of her books and isn\u2019t really equipped to deal with it. She wants her life to be like a novel, but the characters won\u2019t play ball and the plot isn\u2019t linear and obliging. What do you do when the world isn\u2019t parcelled up into neat chapters and a happy ending isn\u2019t guaranteed? Andi is too quick to jump to conclusions and assume that tropes are a fact of life and it makes things extremely complicated until she meets someone who can pull her back down to earth.<\/p>\n

This book is a clever idea which takes a romp through the plots of some of the greatest literary romances ever written, but shows us how we need to learn to separate fact from fiction and keep a firm grip on our sanity when other people seem to be spiralling into madness. The real world isn\u2019t always fun but it is where we have to live, for better or worse.<\/p>\n

The book is populated by a small but mighty cast of bonkers characters, particularly Lady Tanith, who is the epitome of rewriting history to suit your own narrative, and the truly appalling housekeeper who is firmly cast in the mould of all sinister literary housekeepers through the ages. Even the house itself is alive with all the gothic nightmares that fiction has given us through the decades. By the end I would not have been surprised if Dracula himself had been found stalking the grounds.<\/p>\n

A romantic comedy for anyone who has ever fancied herself the heroine in her favourite literary novel and is in need of a sharp wakeup call. Tremendous fun and I continue to be in awe of Jane Lovering\u2019s skills and imagination.<\/p>\n

Happily Ever After\u00a0<\/strong>is out now in all formats and you can buy a copy here.<\/a><\/p>\n

About the Author<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

WINNER \u2013 CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023 with A COTTAGE FULL OF SECRETS (Boldwood Books) ROMANTIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2012 with PLEASE DON\u2019T STOP THE MUSIC (Choc Lit publishing), RoNA ROSE (NOVELLA OF THE YEAR) 2018 with CHRISTMAS AT THE LITTLE VILLAGE SCHOOL AND FANTASY ROMANTIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2019 with LIVING IN THE PAST.<\/p>\n

Jane was, presumably, born, although everyone concerned denies all knowledge. However there is evidence that her early years were spent in Devon (she can still talk like a pirate under the right conditions) and of her subsequent removal to Yorkshire under a sack and sedation.<\/p>\n

She now lives in North Yorkshire, where she writes women\u2019s fiction novels with funny bits and labours under the tragic misapprehension that men are queueing up for her. She owns possibly the world\u2019s worst dog, a Patterdale Terrier who answers to \u2013 well, who knows, since she rarely comes back; she is also the owner of five practically grown-up children, and she has to spend considerable amounts of time in a darkened room as a result (of the dog, not the kids).<\/p>\n

Jane\u2019s likes include marshmallows, the smell of cucumbers and the understairs cupboard, words beginning with B, and Doctor Who. She writes with her laptop balanced on her knees whilst lying on her bed, and her children have been brought up to believe that real food has a high carbon content. And a kind of amorphous shape.<\/p>\n

Not unlike Jane herself, come to think of it.<\/p>\n

She had some hobbies once, but she can\u2019t remember what they were. Ask her to show you how many marshmallows she can fit in her mouth at once, though, that might give you a clue. Go on, I dare you.<\/p>\n
