The Sequel to Written in the Stars instead of following Elle & Darcy this book focuses on Darcy's brother Brendon and her friend Annie who just flew into Seattle and has a two week holiday before she flies home and to relocate to London for work.
Little did she know that she would fall or Brendon during her stay but will she follow her heart or her head whilst she flies home to think things over will she come back or will she continue with her move to London.

Cute but I wasn’t super into it. I think I liked the first one better? The friendships were all really good.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a companion novel to Alexandria Bellefleur’s debut novel, Written in the Stars (a book I was waiting until next winter to read because of the holiday vibes but now need to pick up ASAP).
Brendon is about all things love and romance. He’s made a whole career of it, creating the dating app One True Pairing to help people find their happily ever after. He cries over proposal videos on YouTube and RSVPs to every wedding he can. Despite all this, he’s yet to feel that “spark” and find his soulmate. After a string of bad relationships and being made to feel dispensable, Annie has sworn off love for good. Due to her high ranking job in HR, she’s always travelling and living out of a suitcase. When Annie books a spontaneous trip to visit her best friend Darcy in Seattle she ends up coming face to face with Brendon, Darcy’s baby brother that Annie hasn’t seen in over 8 years. What follows is a delightful story about love, friendship, self-reflection, communication, and self-actualization.
THIS WAS SO FREAKING CUTE AND WHOLESOME, I literally smiled like a darn fool until the very last page. Brendon is the ultimate cinnamon roll hero, he’s so kind and patient with Annie and is such a caring brother/friend. The friendships were next level, I seriously wish I could get invited to their game nights. And can we talk about THE BANTER. The banter between Annie and Brendon felt so real and witty. I usually don’t love books with little to no plot, but something about this really worked for me. The characters just felt so well developed (even the side characters), that the lack of plot didn’t really bother me. I definitely recommend picking this one up!
