Happily Ever Island

Welcome to Happily Ever Island, the most pixie-dusted vacation a Disney fan could ever imagine.

Head-in-the-clouds romantic Madison and driven pragmatist Lanie are unlikely best friends, but the two would do anything for each other. So when Madison's life starts to fall apart, Lanie agrees to join Madison for the test run of Disney's newest resort experience during their first college spring break: Happily Ever Island—an immersive vacation destination, where guests can become their favorite Disney character for a week.

Madison decides to go as the iconic princess herself, Cinderella, with Lanie as bow-wielding Merida. It's not Lanie's idea of fun, but she knows Madison needs her, and besides, she could use the break from her strenuous courseload anyway. Plus, maybe she'll get to shoot things.

But once on the island, Lanie and Madison begin to drift apart. Madison finds herself either missing out or messing up all the enchanting moments she has dreamt her whole life about, and is forever running into their annoyingly perfect (and distractingly cute) vacation's coordinator, Val. Meanwhile, Lanie unexpectedly finds herself swept up in the magic of it all. She strikes up a secret romance with Prince Charming—but there's no telling whether he's just playing a part.

In this delightful YA rom-com inspired by Disney fandom, get swept up in a whirlwind of laughter, tears, and more than just a touch of Disney magic.

Suspend belief for the whole book to enjoy

3.5 stars for me, but I'll round it up to 4 because I enjoyed it being mostly the lightest thing I've read in a while.

Full on Disney fans, especially Disney adults, will probably love this.

It's dual POV, and have labeled as queer, so I thought the main characters would be together, but they are best friends (according to what they say, but not the way they act with each other, sometimes.

You have to suspend belief A LOT in this book.

I do know enough Disney moments to picture what is happening with the words, but if you don't know the Disney movies well, you'll be lost during some of the most magical parts of the book.

This author's Windy City Magic series is one of my favorites, so I've wanted to read this for a while.

This is nowhere near as engaging, but again, this seems like it was written for people who are into things that I am not.

For Disney Fans :D

This was a real dream come true for every Disney fan (like myself), it's really similar to Disney Cruise if you want to live a similar experience
The story is about two friends, Madison and Laine, Madison LOVED everything Disney and Laine doesn't know the first thing about it, but wit a twist of fate they win two tickets to Happily Ever Island, an exclusive and immersive resort where you choose any character from Disney and you get to live it!!, they provide you with costumes, food and big hero moments !!!!!!
Madison chooses Cinderella, and Laine choses Merida, and the adventure begins
I have to say, I really wanted more romantic moments between Laine and prince charming and less focus and Madison, this book sparked a question .. who would I choose ?
I thought hard about it .. and I chose either ( Mulan, or the swooning ladies of Gaston ) they are total opposites but I imagine I will have fun being them LOL
nice read ..

The fact that it involves Disney characters, which I'm into!!

I liked that even though both characters don't share common interests in Disney, they learn from each other
