Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur
4.0
For lovers of classic rom-com movies.
Trope: Sibling's Best Friend
Bellefleur writes chemistry so well and these two are sparking. They fall fast, but I wouldn't classify it as insta-love. There is definitely an amount of realism paired with some very romantic wooing.
Brendan is such a sweet hero without an ounce of toxic masculinity. He knows what he wants, is respectful, and communicates his feelings. (A unicorn even here in Romancelandia.) It's not often we see a male character so determined to find his true love. In this case Annie was the one holding back from the relationship and had to overcome her past and her choices to be with Brendan.
Annie is a bisexual heroine and just like the first book in the series, Written in the Stars, there is no homophobia from any of the characters. She's just living her life as queer woman without censure. I love to see it!
There are a ton of references to classic rom-coms so if you're a Meg Ryan or Julia Robert's fan this will be right up your alley.
I really enjoyed this book
