Super cute sapphic romance about two girls who have a complicated past and unresolved feelings. Written sort’ve like a fanfic, but in a way that I really enjoyed. LOTs of tasteful smut. Highly recommend for a mostly light-hearted (a few moments of high tension) slice of life focused on character and interpersonal development

I think I may have read too many of her books too close together, as I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I think it was too focused on just the two MCs, and didn't have enough of other characters and things going on outside of the relationship to me. I also just got bored about 50% through. I did like the last 20% just that 30% was boring and I had trouble paying attention to it. It was spicy enough for once! LOL. I also wish she didn't always use the same narrator for all her books.

Really liked this book. The humor was good, the characters were detailed and pleasant to read, it had second-chance vibes without a heavy angst backstory, and the ending was really cute. Just an overall nice read.

3.5 ⭐️s. This series is great, but I think this one is my least fave of the 3. Still love the characters, and Olivia is a great addition to the friend group.

I was honestly such a huge fan of Written in the Stars so I was super excited to see the 3rd book in this series was another sapphic romance.
This had so many tropes I love: childhood best friends to lovers, reunions, roommates, second chance romances. So I knew I'd probably love it and I did.
The writing style was great, the sex scenes were very hot, and the chemistry between the characters were great!
I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more sapphic Alexandria Bellefleur books in the future.
My only warning would be for frequent mentions of past toxic hetero relationship with mentions of cheating, some emotional abuse, and other forms of toxicity.

I liked the character development and how their internal arcs were set up from the start, and how their issues played out in inhibiting their relationship
Felt like it dragged in places, especially at the end. Became unsympathetic to Olivia at the end. Also way too much mouth choreography. Characters are constantly nibbling their lip or biting their cheek or tongue or rolling lips together or scraping teeth against their bottom lip

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?
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.
