The WIS trilogy is very fluffy as a whole, my favorite were the first and this one :)

I love the friendships each character has with each other and their significant others 🥺

Because they all happen within the same friend group, the challenges and ~falling in love~ scenes are pretty similar in all three books but it's nice to see the small twists that make it a little more unique than the others in the series

Thoroughly enjoyable, spicy, quippy and fun. 

I don't feel qualified to really add more as I haven't read the rest of the books in the series so all I'll say is that if your looking for a book to kill a few hours - look no further. Good plot, well developed characters and a good amount of sapphic spice.

           childhood friends to lovers and miscommunication trope, my best friends. i love that even though they hadn’t seen each other for 11 years they could still be friends and all the stuff that happened in the past hadn’t left them, if that makes sense. this book was so well done and the epilogue at the end was adorable, i love that it ended with all three couples married/engaged.

It's a fun romance read & I definitely felt the chemistry between the characters

For someone who gates the Miscommunication trope I loved this book!
It cute and well written.

i honestly don't have much to say about this. there was so much potential for this, being a second chance romance but it just didn't do much for me. i'm glad i kept on with this series but overall, i just feel very meh about it all.

Tropes: Second Chance at Love, Falling for the best friend, friends-strangers-lovers 

Wow, boy did I enjoy this book. This is a cute second-chance romance between two ex-best friends. To be completely honest this was my first book of the series. I loved the dual POV which each girl. Margot was definitely a character I resonated with. 

Something that I really liked about this book was that even if Olivia was bisexual, she ended with a woman. As a bisexual woman, this was something that I wanted to experience and it was nice to read about. Normalizing that bisexuals exist. It was truly great. 

Since this is my first read from Alexandria, I will say I did fall in love with the fast-paced writing style. I also enjoyed the POV which I mentioned earlier. I think Alexandria does well with this style of dual pov that is very fast-paced. It was the perfect length. Was a tad scared around 90% of the book that she wasn't going to be able to wrap it up in time for the book to end. 

If I did have to critique it a little, I would have the characters address their ending argument more. Explaining more to each other and have that communication between each other like they did with other characters.

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I would also like to note that I did not realize this book was part of a series, and it can definitely be read as a stand alone or out of order without confusion. It was very similar to Talia Hibbert’s Brown sisters books, in that main characters from all three books show up as side characters in the others.

I thought this book was YA when I received it, so the spice level was a bit of a surprise going in. However, once I realized I was reading an adult romcom, I found this book to be mostly a delight to read. The main characters are both bisexual, which is really unusual. Since finding bi representation in fiction can be quite difficult, I was really happy to see that this was a clear factor in this book, but it wasn’t thrown in your face or made a constant issue. No one really even commented on the characters’ sexualities—they were able to exist as characters who are developed in other ways without hiding their bisexuality or leaving it super vague, which is nice to see. 

I will say, I felt the hook dropped just a few pages too soon in this version. If left up to me, Olivia’s commentary on the name M. Cooper in the first chapter would be left out, allowing the introduction to Margot in real time to stand on its own. It was one of the only moments in the book that I felt stepped on it’s own toes a bit, as this book otherwise steered clear of being too heavy-handed or cheesy in favor of relationships that felt genuine to me, if a bit rushed at times.

All in all, this is a super cute romcom, and if you are a fan of LGBTQ+ romance and not afraid of a little descriptive spice, pick up Count Your Lucky Stars when it releases in February!

This was cute and steamy and hilarious. I absolutely love what Alexandria Bellefleur is doing for the romance genre. Don't go into this thinking it's going to be soft and cutesy like most other traditionally published sapphic romances out on the market right now. Bellefleur does not hold back on the smut and I loved every second of it. It was such a nice change of pace. That's not all I loved of course. The chemistry between Margot and Olivia was great. The fact that they didn't talk to each other about their feelings until around 60-70% of the novel was a bit frustrating and did hinder my enjoyment at times but at least this was mentioned within the characters inner dialogue so it did seem self aware in that sense. This book was also very funny. Of course, humor is subjective and can be a hit or miss with readers but it surely worked for me. I think Cat has to be my new favorite character within this companion series. The only reason I knocked it down a star was because at times, there was just too much description of what the characters were doing. Every movement they made was narrated to us and at times, I'd just have preferred to fill in the blanks myself. It may seem like a small gripe but I found myself skimming longer paragraphs. If this had just been edited down a tad it could have been a new favorite. With that all being said, this will still be a romance novel I recommend in the future.
