Written In The Stars was a cute, heartfelt book. If you’re looking for a lighthearted sapphic romance, I would definitely recommend it.

Elle and Darcy are so adorable together! All of the scenes of them getting to know each other are so cute, and I really enjoyed reading about their relationship. They really balance each others’ strengths and weaknesses quite well.

Where I think this book was a little lacking was in its secondary characters. I wish we had spent a little more time with Margo and Brandon, or that the time we did spend with them fleshed out their relationships with Ella and Darcy a bit more.

This is a bit of a personal note, but I think the astrology aspect of the book was a tiny bit heavy handed. I don’t think it needed to get cut down a lot, but I do think what was there could have maybe been simplified a bit. As a skeptic myself it was hard to keep track of what Elle was talking about, and some of the more offhanded comments she made (eg: it’s bad to sign contracts when Mercury is in retrograde) seemed to contradict her assertion that astrology is about self reflection and introspection.

Overall this book was cute and fun. Would recommend! 3.5 stars

I loved the story and the characters, but the romance got a little too steamy for my taste. However, the story is fun and the characters definitely pull at your heartstrings.

Such a cute story. There is a typo on the first page, which made me hesitant, but overall I liked it!

I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet and funny. I found Elle a bit annoying at times, but also totally relatable. I really did love the characters for the most part though, besides Elle's family. I could have used a bit more spice though. Overall a great rom-com.

I did not like this book at all. I thought it was a young adult romance, and it was not. If you are under 16, please do not read this.

Cute but not memorable. I appreciate a sapphic love story that doesn’t make coming out or family acceptance the main/only plot point. Normal queer couple with normal people problems, I just wish I felt anything for either character.

A sweet, fluffy rom com. Some of the plot felt like it could have been better developed, and the ending was very fast and straightforward - a bit disappointing. That being said, a fun, cute, lighthearted read with endearing characters.
