Reviews with content warning for Cursing - Count Your Lucky Stars

Super cute! I haven't read the other 2 books in the series, so this book can definitely be read as a standalone. Excited to check the other two out though!

this one is cute and spicy. second chance romance and friends to lovers what more could you ask for? but the miscommunication trope pissed me off so much. i hate it in any kind of book. i think the first part is kind of hard to read because margot and olivia keeps you on guessing if will they or won't they. it also felt like they barely scratched their issues, together and on their own. it felt lacking in a sense that i feel like their problems aren't solved? idk

it was a good read and the third book that i've read from the author, but in the series i like written in the stars more, i guess.

Normally, I'm a huge fan of friends-to-lovers. Okay, huge fan is actually an understatement because it's really my favorite trope ever. This book just didn't do it the justice I had hoped for.

There wasn't a lot that I enjoyed about Count Your Lucky Stars, if I'm being really honest. Both of the protagonists were pretty unlikable, lacked basic communication skills, and weren't very mature for adults. I wanted them to just talk with one another about the awkward situation they went through in high school… that, by the way, could've been not at all awkward if they'd just talked then, but… they kept avoiding it and avoiding it until the weirdest possible moment.

When they finally did talk? I had this moment of "AWW yay - they're cute and happy now." But what happened next? I'm not even talking a third act break-up. I'm talking WITHIN THE SAME SCENE, the conversation went from them discussing their past and deciding to be together long-term to a massive argument for no real reason aside from a lack of faith in someone's parent???

Truly, I just wanted both of them to take a breather and look at the big picture like 30x throughout the story. I couldn't help but find myself getting frustrated over and over again. It could've been cute. It really could've been. But this one fell so flat for me.

Agh I loved this one so much!! Definitely my favorite of the series.

Count Your Lucky Stars is the finale in the Written in the Stars trilogy. This time we're focusing on Margot and her ex best friend, Olivia. When the two reunite after ten years, it's almost as if the stars have aligned. Olivia is the new wedding planner for Annie and Brendan, and when she gets the awful news that her apartment has flooded, Margot offers her spare room. The two begin to grow closer again and maybe they'll finally get some closure over what happened last time.

I love this series so much. Every book got better for me and I fell even more deeply in love with all these characters! Margot and Olivia are both dealing with fears that felt so realistic to me. I related a lot to both of them. I love their personalities and how well they complemented each other. Plus seeing Olivia pulled into the friend ground was soo cute!

There's also a cat in this one and I am a fan. Agh I wish this series was over. I loved the astrology and the romance and everything. I'm definitely going to miss these characters!
