In retrospect, this might be because they all had their own full novels before Margot got hers, but as I was reading I didn’t know that. Margot’s friends likewise are their own people. If anything that makes it more impressive, because overall they balance out and Bellefleur found Olivia’s voice quickly instead of sticking more to the character she already knew. I was interested to learn that Margot was the one who appears in the rest of the series, because I considered Olivia slightly more central. Romcom leads don’t always have more personality than “hot” or “clumsy,” and I appreciated that both girls are fully developed, and neither one gets stuck merely in the love interest role. I found them both to be well-founded and likable characters.

At no point does one of them seem totally right and the other totally misguided about their past miscommunications. Bellefleur does a good job of making both of their perspectives feel legitimate. I could root for and relate to both of them. Romance fans will certainly eat it up, and it is a good one for anyone on the fence with the genre because it uses a lot of the tropes but doesn’t lean so far into them as to ignore anything unrelated to the central relationship.īoth Olivia and Margot are interesting characters. I liked it, although there were some aspects of it that were not for me.

Olivia needs the wedding to go off without a hitch, but how can she be at her professional best when the one who got away is right in front of her? They were inseparable before the week they hooked up, but after a miscommunication they haven’t spoken in more than a decade. There’s a snag: the best woman is Olivia’s childhood bestie Margot. They’re a wealthy and friendly pair, and their wedding is a big deal for the wedding planners, so it should be a slam dunk. Olivia’s dreams are on the verge of coming true when her boss gives her the chance to take charge of a last-minute wedding for an influential couple. This book is available now-it was released February 1-but I read an ARC and wrote this review prior to that release.

Not only is it a romance, it’s also the third book of a series (although in my defense I didn’t know that until after I’d finished it). So not my usual thing, although I have been known to bend my newly reinstated no-romance rule for LGBTQ+ books. That’s the case for Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur. I’m a big fan of grabbing ARCs at work, so sometimes I pick one up even if there is a near-zero percent chance that I would’ve read it in any other context.

Olivia is everything she’s ever wanted, but Margot let her in once and it ended in disaster.It’s Valentine’s Day, so it seemed only appropriate to post a romance review.

As they spend time in close quarters, Margot starts to question her no-strings stance. It has nothing to do with the fact that Olivia is as beautiful as ever and the sparks between them still make Margot tingle. When a series of unfortunate events leaves Olivia without a place to stay, Margot offers up her spare room because she’s a Very Good Person. Never in a million years did she expect her important new client’s Best Woman would be the one that got away. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasn’t gone exactly as planned. It’s been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margot’s cold, dead heart thumps in her chest. While touring a wedding venue with her engaged friends, Margot comes face-to-face with Olivia Grant-her childhood friend, her first love, her first… well, everything. And then fate (the heartless bitch) intervenes. But now her entire crew has found "the one " and she’s beginning to feel like a fifth wheel. She tried and it blew up in her face, so she’ll stick with casual hookups, thank you very much.
