"Fairy Godmothers, Inc." casts a whimsical spell, offering a lighthearted and humorous fairytale retelling that enchants from start to finish.
Welcome to Ever After, Missouri, the idyllic fairytale land where dreams come true, overseen by the charming trio of fairy godmothers—Petunia, Jonquil, and Bluebonnet Blossom. When the magic of Ever After faces peril, the three godmothers concoct a clever scheme: stage a faux wedding to promote the town as a premier wedding destination. And who better to play the role of the betrothed couple than Lucky and Ransom, two former flames? If the godmothers can reignite their romance in the process, it's a win-win. But there's a catch.
Firstly, their breakup stemmed from a humiliating incident that continues to haunt Ransom, casting a shadow over their reunion.
Secondly, Lucky's luck seems to be anything but fortunate, as cosmic mishaps thwart their attempts at intimacy time and again.
My feelings about the debut installment of the Fairy Godmothers, Inc. series are mixed. While I adored the enchanting setting of Ever After—a quaint town brimming with nods to classic fairytales—and found the meddling godmothers utterly delightful, the central romance between Lucky and Ransom left me wanting. Though their second-chance, fake dating/marriage of convenience dynamic intrigued me, their connection felt lacking. The exaggerated "Boy Who Missed" incident, blown out of proportion by Lucky, overshadowed Ransom's character development unnecessarily. Additionally, Lucky's contrived bad luck felt forced, detracting from the authenticity of their romance. While they eventually grew on me, I found myself more invested in the potential romance between Lucky's best friend, Gwen, and Ransom's confidant, Roderick—a subplot ripe with promise for future installments.
In essence, "Fairy Godmothers, Inc." sprinkles a delightful blend of whimsy and humor, but its central romance fails to captivate as fully as its charming setting and supporting characters.
