All opinions are my own."Bellefleur has a droll, distinct voice, and her one-liners zing off the page, striking both the heart and funny bone. There's a sparkling quality here, one that mirrors the starry title. *Thank you Netgalley for the advanced reader copy. A great second chance, friends to lovers romance I highly recommend. That being said, the writing was wonderful, the story flowed and I really enjoyed it. As adults, just be real with one another. I can forgive them for NOT doing that as teens but come on. Seriously, all their angst from the past and present could have easily been avoided if they were just open and honest with one another. Of course this book falls into that camp where you just want to shake the characters and say “just talk to one another!!!” I loved every minute of their reconnection. Seriously, once Margot and Olivia succumbed to their attraction it was so on and Bellefleur did not hold back.
I just didn’t expect this to be so incredibly HOT! I really liked non-nonsense Margot in Written in the Stars so I was excited to see her get her happily-ever-after.
