“In all my books the lead characters become disillusioned with each other, and then it is how they go from this disillusionment back again to that - I don’t think of it as happily ever after, I think of it as an excellent new beginning, a firm foundation on which to build the rest of their lives, because we all know shit happens, right?”

— Sherry Thomas, romance author
