Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
5.0

Old best friends.. who might have had the worst break up after spending a week of being more than friends meet 11 years later and this just might be their second chance at love/ Margot Cooper and Olivia Grant have been best friends since forever, and one week during high school they realize the just might be more than just friends. A week of romance, sex, and just happiness all comes crashing down when Olivia’s ex boyfriend comes back and she gets back together with him, thus ending the friendship/potential relationship between the Margot and her. 11 years later, Olivia is divorced from Brad and working on her wedding planning career.... and she just happens to be Ben’s wedding planner, and Ben just happens to be Margot’s best friend. After finding out that her apartment is flooded she needs a place to stay... and Margot offers her her apartment. Now the two of them have to navigate old pain, their feelings still being there, and what they’re going to do now. Margot and Olivia will soon have to face their old history and what actually happened that week before their friendship ended and what it means for them going forth and if they can resist the sexual tension between the two of them. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone ( though I would 100% recommend the other two books too!) we get fun cameos of the other couples. I loved Margot and Olivia. They were two people who have loved each other since forever but after a major misunderstanding neither knows what to do about their feelings for the other in fear of rejection or hurt. Margot cares for Olivia but is afraid Olivia will leave her again and that she won’t really mean anything to her. Olivia is in love with Margot but can’t understand her and doesn’t know if what they have between them is as special to Margot as it is to her. This one was definitely a steamy read ( I think it might be more so than the other two) but the romance was just as sweet and cute. I do adore long time yearning romance between two people who have history and oh boy do these two ladies have history. I would highly recommend this!
