Count Your Lucky Stars

i didn't even want to finish it and then i didn't wanna put it down! such an amazing and heartwarming read. can't wait to read more of her work.

This one was an improvement from the one before it.

For me there was just something missing in the romance and in their friendship. Sometimes second chances can be a miss especially when it is a forced get together and merge with a current friend group. Secrets. Lies. It sounds good as I'm typing it, but it just didn't play out right in the story.

I received this book for free in a Goodreads Giveaway and give my opinion without prejudice and voluntarily.

In this third installment to the trilogy, we follow Elle's best friend, Margot, as she runs into her childhood best friend. In high school, they had hooked up, which cause their friendship to fall apart. Both of them have different ideas of what made their friendship dissolve like this, and they haven't spoken in 11 years. When Olivia becomes the wedding planner for Brendan's wedding, where Margot is the Best Man, their paths collide. Through a twist of fate, Margot and Olivia become roommates. They must confront what happened 11 years ago. What follows is a cute romance!

I love Alexandria Bellefleur. I think her characters are always adorably written, and the steamy scenes are STEAMY. I love that she doesn't fall into the miscommunication trope too hard. While there was hardcore miscommunication in the past, we don't fall into that too hard in this book. I really connected with Margot's otherness feeling in her group of friends. I felt like it was really relatable. The romance itself was cute, steamy, and mature.

I love Alexandria Bellefleur and will read all of her romance books.

TW: alcohol, sexual content, toxic relationship (past)

Second chance isn't my favorite romance trope, but considering the “first chance” in this book is more along the lines of high school BBFs/sweethearts, I liked it in this one a lot. This was a lot of fun and funny, so I might even call it a rom-com. This entire series is just chill and sweet and I can't recommend it enough.
