Über das Buch
"Bellefleur has a droll, distinct voice, and her one-liners zing off the page, striking both the heart and funny bone... There's a sparkling quality here, one that mirrors the starry title. Bellefleur writes as if she's captured fairy lights in a mason jar, twinkly and lovely within something solid yet fragile." — Entertainment WeeklyFollowing 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 in this witty romantic comedy 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, kicking off a heartfelt second chance romance. 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-a classic case of forced proximity-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 navigate their new roommate romance, Margot starts to question her no-strings stance. Olivia is everything she's ever wanted, but this friends-to-lovers story ended in disaster the first time around. Will history repeat itself or should she count her lucky stars that she gets a second chance with her first love?

2,0That… did not go well. Actual rating is more like 2.5 stars. I was really excited for this book and was ready to love it. And I did, up until the halfway point. Do you know the feeling when you‘re reading a book and things happen just at the right time, when you were ready for them to happen? That did not happen here. Bellefleur kept missing the beats I needed to continue enjoying the book. After two thirds I was struggling and had to force myself to continue on, because I didn‘t want to be in the main characters‘ heads anymore. They were both SO insecure and refusing to communicate honestly (or communicate at all really) and it was utterly exhausting to read. Around 85% in I was about ready to call it quits but trudged on And then almost 90% into the book bad things kept happening to Olivia which was way too late in the book, because barely any pages were left to resolve the tension and drama that happened before. Needless to day the ending way very abrupt and I got the impression that Bellefleur had originally written more but the page count was way higher then allowed so she had to wrap it up all in a neat little bow in the epilogue. If all her characters are like this and everything is so drawn out I don‘t think this is the author for me. The thing this book helped me realize is that second chance romances do not work for me. I would not recommend this to anyone who hates the miscommunication/lack of communication trope.

3,5Tropes * childhood best friends to lovers * miscommunication * childhood crush * right person, wrong time * rom com
The first book of this series setted the standards high, the second one disappointed me to be honest, and now there‘s the third and final one…and it‘s somewhere in the middle. I like the connection between Margot and Olivia. They feel like childhood friends (and childhood crushes) that have been apart for years. What has annoyed me is the miscommunication – okay, fine, they had miscommunication issues in the past (I can understand that), but the way they have them in the present is just a little bit too much in my opinion. Though I like the message we get through Olivia’s storyline of how too much selflessness can do more harm than good. That‘s a pretty important message in my opinion. And once again I had a lot of fun reading this book. 3.5/5⭐ 2/5🌶️
