Count Your Lucky Stars
Count Your Lucky Stars | Alexandria Bellefleur
15 posts | 14 read | 11 to read
Following Written in the Stars and Hang the Moon, Lambda Literary Award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur pens another steamy queer rom-com about former best friends who might be each other's second chance at love...Margot Cooper doesn't do relationships. She tried and it blew up in her face, so she'll stick with casual hookups, thank you very much. But now her entire crew has found the one and she's beginning to feel like a fifth wheel. And then fate (the heartless bitch) intervenes. While touring a wedding venue with her engaged friends, Margot comes face-to-face with Olivia Grant--her childhood friend, her first love, her first... well, everything. It's been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margot's cold, dead heart thumps in her chest.Olivia must be hallucinating. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasn't gone exactly as planned. At almost thirty, she's been married... and divorced. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. Never in a million years did she expect her important new client's Best Woman would be the one that got away.When a series of unfortunate events leaves Olivia without a place to stay, Margot offers up her spare room because she's a Very Good Person. Obviously. It has nothing to do with the fact that Olivia is as beautiful as ever and the sparks between them still make Margot tingle. As they spend time in close quarters, Margot starts to question her no-strings stance. Olivia is everything she's ever wanted, but Margot let her in once and it ended in disaster. Will history repeat itself or should she count her lucky stars that she gets a second chance with her first love?

Olivia is getting to prove herself as an event planner being assigned a big account. What she doesn‘t count on is running into her best friend, Margot, from high school who she hasn‘t seen in a decade. The one she had that one special week with during spring break their senior year. This is 2nd chance with low stakes but I loved it because there were some scenes where it‘s just them 2 making cookies and it was lovely. The one thing I will 👇🏼

Reggie say is that I think Bellefleur has control issues. After every piece of dialogue the characters smirked, raised an eyebrow, pushed their hair out of their face, bit their lip, huffed air, sighed, harrumphed, giggled. lol, I just wanted to say we can imagine that for ourselves sometimes. It was a bit much. Still a pick! 2mo
Bookzombie Lol. I read her first one a few years ago so I can‘t remember those kind of details, but I‘m betting she did the same in it. I enjoyed it though. 2mo
Reggie @Bookzombie Yeah, I still liked it. I‘ll probably read another of hers. I like the “just moments” in romances where they‘re just existing in coupledom doing things couples do. And she really did that for me here. 2mo

Centique @Reggie yes i love the “just” moments too. Thats a great name for it! 2mo
Centique Which reminds me that the last romance novel i read is still in my head because they do stuff like grocery shopping and making dinner together 2mo
Reggie @Centique yes, exactly. Also, just placed a hold for tagged book, so thanks. I went to Barnes and Noble and almost didn‘t buy any books because I have 4 on loan through Libby and 8 physical. What business do I have buying a book. Still bought one, though. lol 2mo
Centique @Reggie it would be terribly off brand if we didnt! My daughter is always asking me why im picking up reserved books from the library when there are 40 unread books in the bookshelf by my bed 🤯🤯 2mo

Charming, funny, steamy. Loved seeing these characters grow through the last 3 books. Diverse, kind and sex positive people are a joy to spend time with on a cold winters day. This book made up for the last one! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #marvellousmarch @Andrew65

Lauranahe Do I need to read the other ones in order to read this one?? 2y
Julsmarshall @Lauranahe You don‘t! Though the friends are all pretty wonderful so I think you‘ll enjoy all three books. But not real need to read in order. 2y
Lauranahe Thank you! 2y

A very sweet contemporary romance featuring estranged childhood best friends who reunite as adults when one turns out to be a friend's wedding planner, and realize that both still have feelings for each other. It's a return to the Seattle setting and friend group of Bellefleur's Written in the Stars, which I also loved. I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. 4⭐️

An adorable rom-com about ex-friends turned lovers who get into a mess of misunderstandings because neither will communicate their true feelings and thinks the other doesn't like them as much as they do. That aspect definitely got annoying at times but I am a sucker for the grumpy person falls for sunshiney person and is really soft for them trope so I still really enjoyed it.

I'm really enjoying this ex-friends to lovers rom-com even if its relying on some frustrating lack of communication to foment the tension

peanutnine Ugh I agree, I hate lack of communication as a means to create tension. It's so frustrating 😅 3y

3. "There were copious amounts of teenage angst, and lying in bed, staring up at the ceiling and listening to Ingrid Michaelson sing about fragile hearts, and journaling. So much journaling.” -- Count Your Lucky Stars

There is something about Bellefleur. Her books are not the best, but I do enjoy them.

Bookzombie I haven‘t read the second book yet, but I enjoyed the first one. Also, love the covers. 3y
CaramelLunacy That is such a cute cover! 3y
