Also, since this was Margot’s book, the astrology references were back in full force, which if you read my review of Written in the Stars, you’ll know I loved it. Of course, it had that trademark mix of fun, sexiness, and heart I’ve come to expect from Bellefleur’s writing and the wonderful found family dynamic with the friend group. I’m such a sucker for a childhood friends to lovers trope, so I was bound to love Count Your Lucky Stars, but add in some pining, spicy texts, and a cat, and I was hooked. But the same sparks are there, and they have to decide if they’re going to take the second chance they’ve been given. What happened between them was eleven years ago. And Margot just so happens to have a spare room. Olivia also happens to be Brendon and Annie’s wedding planner, is recently divorced, and by another twist of fate, is in need of a new apartment. While checking out Brendon and Annie’s wedding venues, Margot runs into the last person she ever expected to see again, Olivia- her childhood best friend and first love. That doesn’t mean she is looking for a relationship, though. And she’s happy for them, she truly is, but she also can’t help feeling like the fifth wheel. Margot is just fine being single, or at least she was until everyone in her friend group paired off. Will history repeat itself or should she count her lucky stars that she gets a second chance with her first love?īased on how much I loved Written in the Stars, I had high hopes for Count Your Lucky Stars, and Alexandria Bellefleur absolutely delivered. Olivia is everything she’s ever wanted, but Margot let her in once and it ended in disaster. As they spend time in close quarters, Margot starts to question her no-strings stance. It has nothing to do with the fact that Olivia is as beautiful as ever and the sparks between them still make Margot tingle. 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. Never in a million years did she expect her important new client’s Best Woman would be the one that got away. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. At almost thirty, she’s been married… and divorced. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasn’t gone exactly as planned. It’s been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margot’s cold, dead heart thumps in her chest.

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.

And then fate (the heartless bitch) intervenes. But now her entire crew has found “the one” and she’s beginning to feel like a fifth wheel. She tried and it blew up in her face, so she’ll stick with casual hookups, thank you very much.
