Count Your Lucky Stars is my new favorite romance! Margot is determined to be a ray of sunshine for Annie and Brendan's wedding as the Best Woman. When her old classmate Olivia becomes the wedding planner for the quickly approaching wedding, both Olivia and Margot are taken back to their brief college romance. Olivia’s apartment abruptly floods….and then they are roommates once again. As they work together to pull off a magical wedding, they’re forced to re-examine what went wrong and address the spark between them.
Olivia and Margot have incredible chemistry. Their scenes together are steamy and charged with tension, making it impossible to look away. When they became roommates, I had to laugh because I knew shenanigans were incoming! This book was laugh-out-loud hilarious, with lots of witty banter. While there are many comedic moments, there is a deep and tender aspect to this book as well. Both Margot and Olivia need to work on their boundaries- to learn how to let someone in and how to cut out toxic people respectively.
On some level, everyone will be able to relate to the question of “what if this had played out differently?” that Olivia and Margot discover. Their story is such a warm, beautifully sapphic romance that it will be difficult for readers to put down. Margot identifies as pan and Olivia identifies as bi. I enjoyed Margot in previous books and loved getting to see more of her! It was wonderful to see cameos from Annie and Brendan, as well as Darcy and Elle. Count Your Lucky Stars might be my favorite book yet in the series! It gave me a serious book hangover. I’ll be eagerly awaiting whatever Alexandria Bellefleur writes next.
I loved Count Your Lucky Stars and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys second chance romance, mutual pining, and excellent sapphic romance. Thank you to Alexandria Bellefleur, Avon & Harper Voyager, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
