This book is set in the present day. It is a mixture of magical realism and fairy tales. The book is similar to "Like for water for chocolate" which was published a number of years ago. Events and characters in that book are influenced by the wonderful cooking of the main character Tita. In Fairy Godmothers the events and the magical world surrounding the main characters Ransom and Lucky are influenced by the emotions of the two characters. Ransom and Lucky share the same set of fairy godmothers whose world and magical powers are literally dying for lack of love in their world. They decide to get Ransom and Lucky "fake married" to put their world of Ever After on the map and make it a place for destination weddings. The world building is great and fairy tale creatures inhabit the world of Ever After. The seven dwarfs, Snow White and the formerly Evil Queen all live there (along with others.) The book reminded me of a Hallmark movie without the plot you can guess in five minutes. I figured Ransom and Lucky would make it to the altar (for real) but I liked the twists and turns. The first thing I didn't like was the "incident" that drove them apart. It seemed more like a mishap than anything else. The second thing was that I sometimes had trouble keeping track of the characters and who was who, and related to who. I could have used an index to explain it all. Maybe the author should include that in the sequel. I like fairy tales and fairy tale retellings and this was very good. An interesting thing is that Ever After and the "real world" interact. The godmothers have to have people come to their world and let their love "nourish" Ever After. In the Harry Potter and Narnia universes the worlds are strictly separated and characters (except for main characters) don't cross over. At least I don't remember it that way. The way food and clothing is described is terrific. I remember wanting to taste the baked goodies in Ever After. The names of the godmothers are a nice touch (all named for flowers.) The author seems like she appreciates sweets and enjoys baking/bake sales. I like how the godmothers "currency" is love not money. It seems as though Roderick and Gwen will be heading for the altar in another book in this series. The scene where the magical mice help the magical cardinal to sew Lucky's dress is similar to the scene in the 1950 Walt Disney version of Cinderella. Magical mice help Cinderella sew a ball gown. I liked how Ravenna the formerly Evil Queen is now a bank manager (appropriate.) She reminded me of the Miranda character in "The Devil Wears Prada." This is the first book review I have ever done so I hope it didn't ramble too much. Thank you to Bookish First for sending me the book. Finally this story reminded me of Cinderella without the mean stepsisters and wicked stepmother.
