Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

3.0

I have loved the Written in the Stars books since the very first one. I love that these books don't just center around the romance, but the friendships as well. This is still the case with Count Your Lucky Stars, but that was probably the highlight of the book. The romance really fell flat for me, and for some reason this book felt incredibly rushed. I also didn't feel the chemistry between Olivia and Margot. I could see why they were best friends, but beyond that? I just didn't see it. I also have a really hard time believing that Margot would hold a torch for Olivia for ELEVEN YEARS. That didn't scream healthy to me honestly. And I have a lot of issues with Olivia jumping into a relationship 10 months after her divorce. She was with Brad for nearly half her life, she finally gets divorced and within 10 months (okay maybe 11), she's ready to start something again? She hasn't even really had time to figure out who she is without a significant other, to really find her place and footing in Seattle, and boom, she's ready to start back up with Margot. Okay, sure. This book felt rushed, as if Bellfleur was trying to get this out and be done with this series, and it left me slightly disappointed. Margot and Olivia deserved better. I liked it, but the other two will remain superior to me.
