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.

This was a very cute and heartwarming end to the trilogy! I loved Margot and Olivia, and I saw myself in a lot of their core conflicts.

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? 

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.

... 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.
