Thanks to Avon Books for the free advance copy of this book.
- Alert! Queer second chance friends to lovers! What a joy this addition to an already wonderful series is. Bellefleur is excellent and creating a gentle environment but still having electric energy between her characters.
- And whew, is this book spicy! I was beginning to fear that all mainstream F/F romances were going to forever have only one or two brief love scenes. Enter COUNT YOUR LUCKY STARS, where Margot and Olivia hit the ground running and never stop.
- I do love a "these dummies need to admit they're in love" story, though this one may verge too much on "just have a conversation already" territory for some. Thank goodness they have friends to help them out (all beloved characters from the previous books)!

Im crying this series of romances has such a chokehold on me. I love every single character in here. Margot and Olivia are so GROSSLY soft and cute it hurts my heart. I loved seeing all the previous characters play a major role in the books. Since they're a tight knit friend group they weren't just relegated to cameos which was so nice.
Alexandria, maam, if you could write forty more that would be nice!!!

Alexandria Bellefleur is so consistent in delivering sweet, cookie-cutter romances. She's easily a go-to author if I'm looking for a straight-forward spicy sapphic romance. (Her spicy scenes are <i>good</i> good.) I also love the complexity of the growth the characters go through over the course of the novel and it is shown so well through their conversations and the way they approach their relationships with others.
However, I think her works painfully lack diversity (besides the queer rep of course). I would kill for some POC/trans/disabled/Jewish/mentally ill rep in this world. It feels a little too "picture perfect" cis white able-bodied Hallmark movie for me.
