I had so much fun reading Written in the Stars ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ญ. This story was everything I was expecting- and more! I was laughing out loud one second and wiping my tears the next. Absolutely recommend this witty, sweet, sexy and charming rom-com ๐Ÿซถ. 

After a disastrous blind date, Darcy is desperate to stop her brother from playing matchmaker again, so she fibs and says her latest set up was a success... Elle, however, dreams of finding her soulmate and Darcy was definitely not it for her- but she begs Elle to play along, and she's going to have to set a few conditions to save face and her heart because the last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a fake relationship ๐Ÿซข. 

A free-spirited social media astrologer agrees to fake a relationship with an uptight actuary until New Yearโ€™s Eve... with results not even the stars could predict! ๐ŸŒŸ
