Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
2.0
The Good
I second chance romance is hit or miss for me but I craved a good sapphic romance and decided to give this a shot. I loved Olivia and understood her. She's a people pleaser and that is a hard thing to break out of. Margot was more difficult of a character to like. The set up was interesting and fun but once they got into the friends with benefits situation is when it all falls apart.
The Bad
The lack of communication/ miscommunication was killing me. Especially when the second time they both know it was a communication issue that ruined their relationship the first time. They were such great friends but can't have one honest conversation and make so many assumptions about what the other person is thinking. A second chance romance with them making the exact same mistakes is so exhausting. I also wish there had been flashbacks of their friendship so we understood their relationship more and felt mire yearning between them. I felt like the middle of this book drags, nothing important was happening. I also found Margot's friends overbearing and oddly judgmental at times. It's like they knew what she was like but instead of changing things to include her they just didn't invite her or excluded her. I didn't read the previous books so maybe I would like them more but I found myself very annoyed.
The Rating
I give this book a 2/5
