A rom-com with a side of queer charm.

Bellefleur’s writing is like a perfectly mixed cocktail: sharp, sweet, and a liiiiiiiittle spicy. Margot and Olivia’s chemistry crackled from page one, and I’ll admit, I blushed through a few scenes that could’ve steamed up my glasses if I wore them. The banter? Top-tier.

The plot leans hard into miscommunication trope. Teen heartbreak flashbacks that had me eye-rolling and, “Just talk, you idjits!”and then make them kiss like that Viking dude with the dolls in the Frozen movie. You know the gif.

The supporting cast, especially Margot’s ride-or-die crew, added a cozy found-family vibe that made me wish I could crash their game nights.

Count Your Lucky Stars is a delightful, sexy escape that left me grinning and maybe a tad jealous of fictional people. If you love a slow-burn with a happy ending, this one’s your four leaf clover.

I loved this book! It’s so sweet and also funny. I was drawn to both characters. I was rooting for them the entire time!! What a sweet romance book.

Loved Margot and Olivia’s journey and how it felt like a realistic arc while still being fun to read and utterly romantic. Absolutely enjoyed this story and would recommend to anyone looking for a realistic yet light-hearted sapphic romcom!

Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur is such a cute, cozy romance! The friends-to-lovers vibe is on point, and the chemistry between the characters is chef's kiss. I loved how real and relatable they felt, and the mix of funny moments with emotional depth really hit the spot. If you're into slow-burn love stories with lots of heart and swoons, this one's a must-read!

This was a super enjoyable romance! Margot and Olivia's story was a lot of fun. I love second chances and this one was well done. If you're looking for a sapphic romance, look no further.

I had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately, this book fell a bit short. Second chance is not my favorite trope, and when you add in a very easy to fix miscommunication trope, it felt very young. the writing and character development were well done, but the actual plot ended up not being for me.

It was great getting to read more of Margot's story. Margot and Olivia were adorable. Their chemistry was palpable and it was lovely to see more of the other couples that we got close to in other stories.

I adored this authors other two books and this one was no different! A steamy second chance at love, best friends turned lovers! Flawed and relatable characters with great chemistry! Loved having the characters back together!

The third book in the Written in the Stars series features Margot (who I wanted a book about after reading book one). Margot and Olivia go through a whole second-chance romance, which I usually love. This one was a little awkward because had the pair just had ONE conversation it would have avoided a lot of tension (which obviously is needed for the novel).

There is a lot of steam in this book, so be aware. It seems that Margot and Olivia definitely connect on a sexual level. If only they could communicate...

Sigh. It is so frustrating when a book is just based on a lack of communication. The "fight" the pair had didn't even qualify as a fight. Olivia is immature and doesn't stand up for herself. Margot is somehow infatuated with her, although it's hard to see why. Her flaw is she "cares for others more than herself." Eh. She doesn't seem to care for anything. The book starts with a focus on her career, but this is just a half of one chapter. The career is a convenient excuse of writing for her to be reintroduced with Margot. It is then COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN! This is supposed to be a huge wedding she is in charge of and the entire story is centered around her relationship with Margot. Forget about planning a wedding - who cares about her career?!

Probably my favorite of Alexandria's books so far! Love the representation of anxiety in this one, and the idea of blowing things way out of proportion and thought spiraling was all too real.

The third act conflict was stripped right out of a rom-com movie. It was ridiculous and everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. But it was still cute and funny and I had a great time!

I loved, loved, loved this book!
Count Your Lucky Stars was a beautifully written story about Margot and her second-chance romance with Olivia. We get to see the characters built out further and experience the journey they take together.

This was a great closure to the series, bringing us that romcom feeling with plenty of laughs and tears all wrapped up together. Easily a 5 star read for me!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Wow, this was my frist Alexandria Bellefleur book but it won't be my last! Now I need to read the other books in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for giving me a free eARC of this book to read in exchange for my review!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC! I thoroughly enjoyed this book after reading the first book in the series by the author! Olivia and Margot's story is one written in the stars. They were meant to find each other again after a failed chance. I thought the ending could have been resolved differently but overall still a refreshing, funny, sapphic read! I also loved the epilogue that tied other characters into their happily ever after!

margot and olivia were best friends but something happens between them senior year of high school that drives a wedge between them, they suddenly go from being best friends to strangers and after leaving for separate colleges they never speak to each other. ten years later olivia is planning the wedding that margot is the best woman at. and after olivia is left without a place to live they're suddenly forced together.

I really enjoyed this book! it was so easy to connect with the characters and feel like i was really rooting for them as individual people and as a couple. however, there was a certain plot point that kept if from being a five star read. i just really hate how the miscommunication trope was used in this book.

the vibes:
- margot is a bit on the cynical side when it comes to love
- olivia is a wedding planner who has recently gone through a divorce
- friends to strangers to lovers
- forced proximity
- second chance romance

My favorite thing about the romance genre is the banter and man oh man was it done so well here. This is a page turner as well, which is unfortunately because I flew through this one because of that!

This was absolutely wonderful!! After reading <i>Written in the Stars</i> I was so excited to continue reading more from Bellefleur and so far she has not disappointed me!

Weirdly enough this should have been a book that didn't work for me because its second chance and friends to lovers. Both of these are tropes that I don't tend to love/have a harder time working for me. However, Bellefleur made this perfection. I think the reason why is because the miscommunication and problems that these two women were having were so accurate. Especially because the misunderstanding and separation happened when they were 17/18 so they were young and immature and hadn't learned how to communicate well. I also appreciate the balance between tension and softness that we felt toward the characters. I will say this book highly relies on miscommunication and if that is something you really dislike in books, this one may not be the one for you because that's essentially the whole conflict of the book.

Some other things I really enjoyed in this book were the steam and queer identities. This book was <i>hot</i>. I loved how steamy it was because this book turns into friends with benefits and let me tell you. I.Was.Here.For.It!!! It really added to their chemistry and their reconnecting. I also appreciate Liv. She is pansexual and technically has very little experience with women but yet was still so confident in her queer identity even though she was married (now divorced) to a man. Margot was unabashedly queer too but normally we never see unexperienced queer people being confident in their sexualities and I loved it. I also just enjoyed the pansexual rep since Alexandria Bellefleur tends to lean towards bi-rep.

Overall, I really loved this and it was a delight! If you are looking for sapphic friends to lovers, friends with benefits, and second chance romance this one is for you!

Ahhh I love stories just like this, it was utterly romantic and deserves its own rom-com treatment. I finished it in a day and was left with a warm feeling.

Another winner for me in this debut series from Bellefleur. The <i>Persuasion</i> vibes were pretty immaculate (subtle without being too distracting), and Margot and Olivia had phenomenal chemistry from the beginning (so much so that I'm glad the book didn't take too long to get them back together either — I was hoping for something not too slow burn-y and this one DELIVERED in that regard). Bellefleur's becoming one of my favorite contemporary romance authors, and I wanted to wrap up this series before starting the first book in her new one — which turned out to be a great decision, as I was having book indecisiveness and decided to just pick something at random and ended up tearing through this in less than two days.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I can’t explain how happy this book makes me. The characters journey to love is so delightful, and I am happy to be there for every step. The character development is fantastic, and the chemistry and banter between the characters is fantastic. If you are looking for a swooniw romcom type book. This is for you.
