For daydreamer Maddie, obsessive compulsive Clare, over dramatic Isobel and happy-go-lucky Sophie, life is more a world of tragic than magic. Maddie battles against the constant monotony of a job she hates while her heart aches to follow her dreams of setting up her own cake-making business and turn her talent into a career. But will she escape to the Wonderland world where she feels she truly belongs? Clare's inability to banish the image of the teenage ugly duckling she remembers hampers her ability to believe she is good for anyone or anything. After being coerced by well-meaning friends to sign up to an online dating site, she soon starts to realize that looks are not everything and that she is just as quick to judge a book by its cover. Isobel has the looks, the figure and the confidence...or so it appears. After landing the lead role in a new play written and directed by the beastly Guy Edmundson, she follows her mother's advice to find a gorgeous hunk in time to escort her to the after-show party. But it is only when she cuts herself free from the ties of a fake persona and stops living up to other people's expectations that the unexpected happens. Sophie has everything her girlfriends crave - a job she loves and a devoted boyfriend who worships the ground she walks on. But when she chooses to doubt her own worth and believes in a poisonous rumour, it threatens to tear her world apart. Will the girls ever be able to believe happily-ever-afters are not just reserved for fairy tale fiction and will they find the magic to put everything right?
