Elle is half of an up-and-coming astrology team that has just landed a deal with popular dating site OTP. Darcy is a straight-laced actuary with baggage (and the sister of OTP's creator). When the two have the Worst First Date Ever, they both plan on going their separate ways. But when push comes to shove, the two decide to fake date so that Darcy can help Elle increase her standing in her family's eyes and so that Elle can help get Brendon off Darcy's back. But then they fall for each other-- hard and fast.

I was super excited to see another major publisher putting out a lesbian romance! And I went in with moderate hopes, and those hopes were met until about 1/3 or 1/2 half-way through. And then I got tired of Elle's childlike personality. And then the last third of the story drags. And the barely concealed homage to Pride and Prejudice? No thanks.

On the steamy to chaste scale, it's a 7.

- Both Darcy and Elle are lesbians.

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. This was amazing! At the very beginning I was laughing out loud and as the book progressed I fell more in love with the characters and the story line. This book was outstanding and I can't wait to re read it!

Ahem. So, I’m guessing, the author who wrote this book. She has to be a Gemini, cause Gemini? - Witty? Ingenious? Or maybe a Pisces, cause Pisces - Empathic? Expressive? Or probably a Capricorn, cause Capricorn - Practical? Organised? For some of these attributes are written into the personas of Elle and Darcy. Some of these are impressed upon the readers with the style of writing. This is some debut. And way.to.go.

If you feel invisible, are rooting for the underdogs of the world, you have not met the One, or you are the everyone-just-don’t-see me disillusioned damsel waiting for your princess, then you will find the book gratifying.

Oh, and did I mention the cover works for me? Sweet! Treat yourself to the book!

I just reviewed Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur. #WrittenintheStars #NetGalley

This is a truly delightful romance. Darcy and Elle are fabulous and I rooted for them for their first disaster date.
It’s also sexy as hell and nice to see queer women having sex in a romance instead of shying away from it

Love it.
