This was kind of cute! Darcy is a heartbroken woman who broke up with her fiancee and no longer believes in love, wants no such thing in her life after all that happened. And Elle believes in Astronomy and out to find her soul-mate.

I love the details of Elle writing down lists for Oh My Stars based on things that come up or pop up randomly such as a list of what break-up songs each sign would listen to. There are other things I liked as well, but there is also something that happened in the last quarter or fifth of the novel that took it down enjoyment-wise. Or rather as some might call it, a 3rd-act breakup. If those get on your nerves or make things less enjoyable, please don't pick this up.

Bardzo mi się podobała tylko mam mieszane uczucia co do zakończenia nie wiem czy drama pod końcówkę była konieczna przez to zakończenie było dla mnie trochę zbyt szybkie i trochę urwane w porównaniu do reszty książki 

Ale tak to super 💖

I listened to this one on audio, and it's another example of books I'd probably enjoy better physically. However, I still enjoyed the humorous lines delivered by each of the characters throughout the novel. Margot was probably my favorite side character for sure. I appreciated all the astrology talk, as well as the discussions about family members not supporting your passions because that is SO relatable personally. I thought the romance was cute, and the steamy scenes were well done, but I hated the conflict and the miscommunication. I also thought the ending was a bit rushed/forced, but overall, I did like the book, and I'll probably pick up the sequel!

I think we all know I love me a good fake-dating trope and this book did not disappoint! Elle and Darcy are such opposites but complement each other so well. I absolutely loved their chemistry and watching them grow together!

I don't even know where to start with this one.

The hype around this book? I don't get it??? Books like these make me wonder if I'm aromantic or just jaded????? 

This is PEAK white woman millennialcore and it honestly made me a little queasy. I have this thing about always finishing a book even if I hate it otherwise I def would have DNF'd this one. So bad.
