“Written in the Stars” by Alexandria Bellefleur • Book Review

Published: November 10, 2020 by Avon and HarperCollins
Format: Audiobook, English, 12 hours

“Elle was hopeless when it came to Darcy. Hopeless in that there was no cure for how she felt.”

★★★ (3 / 5 stars) This was a cute story, and I was thrilled to finally have a sapphic romantic comedy to binge—and set during the holidays, no less! I wasn’t a HUGE fan of the writing style. Everything felt kind of drawn-out to me, but that is definitely a personal preference.

The story itself is cute, the romance chemical and addicting, and the characters lovable from Page 1. I love the dichotomy of the two characters and how astrology wove its way through the whole book. I look forward to seeing more from this author and more queer rom-coms as a whole!
