Agh I loved this one so much!! Definitely my favorite of the series.
Count Your Lucky Stars is the finale in the Written in the Stars trilogy. This time we're focusing on Margot and her ex best friend, Olivia. When the two reunite after ten years, it's almost as if the stars have aligned. Olivia is the new wedding planner for Annie and Brendan, and when she gets the awful news that her apartment has flooded, Margot offers her spare room. The two begin to grow closer again and maybe they'll finally get some closure over what happened last time.
I love this series so much. Every book got better for me and I fell even more deeply in love with all these characters! Margot and Olivia are both dealing with fears that felt so realistic to me. I related a lot to both of them. I love their personalities and how well they complemented each other. Plus seeing Olivia pulled into the friend ground was soo cute!
There's also a cat in this one and I am a fan. Agh I wish this series was over. I loved the astrology and the romance and everything. I'm definitely going to miss these characters!

Another incredible book from Alexandria Bellefleur and easily my favorite of the three companion novels in this series! I’ve had a crush on Margot from the beginning, so to see her find her happy ending was so lovely. The tension between her and Olivia was to die for, the very realistic feelings of being left behind were written perfectly, as were Olivia’s hesitation to allow herself to be happy. I don’t usually read second chance romance novels but I’d they were all like this I’d gobble them all up. Adored every single second of it.

I rated Written in the Stars and Hang the Moon both five stars, and you’ll see I’ve taken off a half star for this book. We will get to that at the end, but first.
This is such a comforting series. These characters are so comforting (even Brenden …) and I love seeing little tidbits of the main characters from previous books coming up in the sequels.
Count Your Lucky Stars follows Margot, who I loved since book one, and a former flame of hers, Olivia. They’re forced into an awkward reunion when Olivia becomes Brenden and Annie’s wedding planner. They have unspoken feelings for each other, but neither one of them wants to be the first to admit it. Through close proximity, they soon begin warming up to the idea of the other again. It’s very sweet and romantic. And as always, some nice spicy scenes.
But…
It’s been three books now, and while it’s been a nice diverse group of people sexuality-wise (my first book reading the word pansexual!), everyone is very white, and for the most part, privileged. I understand these are not books based around race, but it doesn’t have to be to include at least one one POC character.
I do love the characters, but we need more than just rich white people.
I still really recommend this series, though. They’re not entirely lighthearted—each book has a hurdle the characters have to go over, but it’s nice to watch queer people be unapologetically queer.
