Oh my god, what a follow-up to 2020's Written in the Stars.

I was super intrigued by Brendon in Bellefleur's first book, and I'm so smitten with the fact he gets to win over his childhood crush in this story. I do so adore a good glow-up moment when our older love interest returns and is completely like holy heck how did you get those biceps and wow I want to now climb you like a tree, what do I do with these feelings?!

Brendon being the true romantic who is out to convince Sagittarius Annie that romance not only exists but that she deserves those moments was so delicious.

I'm also just in love with the way Bellefleur builds tension that makes for the natural "break" moment. She takes such care of her characters and oh, these two.

I've got more words but I need a re-read to better wrap my head around them.


*Annie is bisexual, Brendon is straight.

I listened to the audiobook of Hang the Moon, and it had the same narrator as Written in the Stars, who I found delightful and chirpy. She brought the characters to life, and I enjoyed this second read through just as much as the first.

Thank you to HarperCollins audio for the ALC.
