But it’s also mighty hot! Like blushing if you’re reading it in public hot! Alexandria Bellefleur has written another wonderful book. Olivia is the perfect ray of sunshine to go with Margot’s snark and Darcy, Elle, Brendon and Annie are like old friends you haven’t seen for a while but can jump right back in and feel comfortable with again.
Years went by with neither finding the happiness they had experienced with each other. Margot and Olivia always belonged together but didn’t have the courage to make themselves vulnerable. When she finally found the courage to leave she focused on making her career a success.
Olivia is a people pleaser, even though her father pointed out how unhappy she seemed, she stayed in a marriage that didn’t fulfill her. Olivia spent ten years in a marriage that never satisfied her because it’s what she thought she was expected to do. It’s easy to see how high school students would have communication issues. She then got back with her high school boyfriend, attended a different school than her and Margot were going to attend together and married said boyfriend. That led to Olivia thinking it meant nothing to Margot and was just a week of fun. Her week with Olivia was perfect until she choose to give Olivia an out and didn’t express to her the depth of her feelings. I may go so far as to say she reminds me of myself. Margot is the perfect balance of sarcasm and goodness. Ok, truth alert, I skipped the second book because even though I love Brendon and Annie straight romances aren’t my jam. Since Written in the Stars I have been in love with Margot. Will they be able to overcome their history to join the rest of the group in happy coupledom? But the past isn’t easy for either of them to forgot.
It doesn’t take long for that old spark to return. She has a spare bedroom and Olivia’s an old friend, right? Margot feels the pressure and caves and the next thing she knows Olivia is moving in with her stuff and her cat, aptly named Cat. So, when Olivia gets a call from her neighbor telling her she has to get out of her apartment due to flooding, they don’t understand why Margot doesn’t quickly offer up her place. Her friends are oblivious as to her past with Olivia and think they’re just old friends. The Olivia Grant who was once her best friend and who she spent the best week of her life sexing up all over Olivia’s childhood home. As if the universe is conspiring against her even more, Brendon’s wedding planner turns out to be Olivia Grant. She’s better with casual, feelings are highly overrated. It’s not like she would hate a relationship, it’s just not in the stars for her. She feels like they are all attending a party that she isn’t invited to. Her best friend Elle is happily coupled with Darcy and Brendon, Darcy’s brother is engaged to Annie. Margot Cooper finds herself the proverbial fifth wheel in her friend group. This is a very satisfying read for fans of the series. I absolutely loved Written in the Stars and was thrilled to see Margot get her own story. Count Your Lucky Stars is the third book in Alexandria Bellefleur’s Written in the Stars series.
