Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Count Your Lucky Stars

As much as I really wanted to enjoy this book, the misunderstandings really killed me. Even though I understood why and how Margot and Olivia were acting the way they did, it did not stop me from feeling super frustrated until I unfortunately stopped enjoying it.

However, I will admit I might have done myself a disservice since I did choose to read this book first instead of starting from the first book in the series so that might also be part of why I did not enjoy it that much. Also the fact that I was super excited to read this so when it didn’t quite reach my expectations, it just fell flat from then on.

Anyways, I enjoyed the first half of the book, the anticipation of the two main characters meeting again and the whole rekindling their friendship, them not being sure how the other felt, but then they actually got ‘together’ and whilst I was super happy and excited for a short bit, it all went downhill for me from there. Which is ironic, considering isn’t that what it’s all about?

Especially the argument between the two of them and then literally everything that could go wrong going wrong for Olivia just when she’d made that promise to Margot made me want to throw the book across the room. I expected it, because of course that was going to happen, but that didn’t mean it hurt any less.

I definitely think this is a case of it’s not the book, it’s really just me, so despite that, I do think it’s a good book and fairly well written and only wish I’d enjoyed it more.

This was a very hot and beautiful book that I really really loved! Both Margot and Olivia are amazing characters, their chemistry is palpable, and the way their relationship unfolds is amazing, I enjoyed every minute of it. I liked the friend group as well although I imagine if you read the previous two books you probably feel more for the cameos of the other characters in the friend group. This book was so sexy and also had some emotional depth although I could've done with a tiny bit more of it. I loved all the things the characters got up to and surprisingly I also enjoyed the third-act conflict because it was quite interesting & unexpected! Such a great book and one of my faves of the year!! (I haven't had many 5 starts haha)

Super cute continuation of the friends in the “Written in the Stars” trilogy. Margot sees her best friend from high school who she was in love with after 11 years. She is planning her current best friends wedding. Margot ends up letting Olivia take the spare bedroom in her apartment. They rehash their old ways of “fooling around” until they both realize they still like each other.

... I forgot how spicy this series was ...

I really enjoyed this book though. I absolutely breezed through it.

I loved getting to know more about Margot as a person rather than her just being Elle's friend. She's the last one in the friendship group to be single so obviously she's third-wheeling it a lot. Then in comes Olivia ...

I liked Olivia and Margot's relationship from the start - the awkwardness of meeting again after 11 years followed by moving in together after Olivia's apartment disaster, I mean what's the worst that could happen!

I do like the friendship between Margot, Brendon, Darcy and Elle but I would've liked it to be focused a lot more on Margot than the others. It felt more like a general book about all these characters rather than a Margot-centric book.

I hate Luke and Brad. I understand why Brad was mentioned but his relationship with Olivia was just toxic and the fact that Olivia was allowing it really annoyed me. Luke was completely unneccesary.

Overall, this was a great end to the series though I have to say that WRITTEN IN THE STARS is my favourite.
