This was cute. I had a good time listening to the audiobook. I liked the main couple, Margot and Olivia. I loved Olivia's cat Cat. Cat and her antics were one of my favorite parts.

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!

I think I may have read too many of her books too close together, as I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I think it was too focused on just the two MCs, and didn't have enough of other characters and things going on outside of the relationship to me. I also just got bored about 50% through. I did like the last 20% just that 30% was boring and I had trouble paying attention to it. It was spicy enough for once! LOL. I also wish she didn't always use the same narrator for all her books.

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.

Really liked this book.  The humor was good, the characters were detailed and pleasant to read, it had second-chance vibes without a heavy angst backstory, and the ending was really cute.  Just an overall nice read.

3.5 ⭐️s. This series is great, but I think this one is my least fave of the 3. Still love the characters, and Olivia is a great addition to the friend group.

I'll preface this by saying that I have not yet read the other 2 in the series.
I liked the initial set up, young wedding planner gets her big break arranging a huge wedding last minute just to find out that her childhood friend and one that got away is the best woman for the wedding. 
I feel like this concept wasn't really utilised to its fullest - especially when another big trope
"and they were roomates"
is introduced REALLY early. Having two big tropes like that felt like way too much to me. 
They are cute together and have a lot of chemistry but I felt pretty let down overall by this one. Communication is an issue the whole way through. Personally, I didn't enjoy the way things were hashed out.
It soured things for me that they got together and then straight away talk about the lack of communication that caused things to go bad 10 years prior and then its just left? I might be bitter but if I were Olivia I would've been a bit upset for a while after I found out the person I'd really wanted, who told me to get back with my ex, had been angry with me about it for years when she never suggested wanting anything different. Not a deal breaker but I'd be a lot more timid about going into things.

There was also A LOT of the couples from the last two books. They had in jokes I didn't get most of the way through. Also, because they were the protagonists of the previous books they're just so perfect and happy that it felt a bit dull.
Olivia didn't have any friends. Her coworkers are only shown at the very beginning (and huge missed opportunity in my opinion) abd the only other people she really communicates with are her ex-husband and dad. 
I really didn't like the 3rd act conflict. I found both the characters annoying through it.
If your girlfriend is in a panic and she's an hour drive away from clarity and peace why would you be so set against her going when your big point against it is "wanting her to do things for herself".

For me this didn't have nearly enough pining. 
Also...we don't even get to see the wedding. 
Or find out what happened about the stolen car. That just never gets addressed!

I was honestly such a huge fan of Written in the Stars so I was super excited to see the 3rd book in this series was another sapphic romance. 

This had so many tropes I love: childhood best friends to lovers, reunions, roommates, second chance romances. So I knew I'd probably love it and I did. 

The writing style was great, the sex scenes were very hot, and the chemistry between the characters were great! 

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more sapphic Alexandria Bellefleur books in the future. 

 
My only warning would be for frequent mentions of past toxic hetero relationship with mentions of cheating, some emotional abuse, and other forms of toxicity.
