You know when you finish a book and you’re kind of at a loss for what to read next, so you just have someone take the decision making out of your hands and pick for you? One of my favorite people ever, Allison, saw a picture of my TBR cart and promptly picked Written In The Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur for me to read. Luckily, I trust Allison and knew I was in good hands with her recommendation. Plus, she hit my requirements at the time – contemporary, light, and a quick read.
Written In The Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur is a sapphic romance that extremely loosely has connection to Pride And Prejudice as well as Bridget Jones’s Diary. And when I say loose, I mean it. The book stars Elle, an astrologist who is popular on social media, and Darcy who is an uptight actuary. The two go out on a blind date which ends up being a disaster. Dary is stand offish and rude to Elle, who arrives late and nervous.
So, after the date, you would think that would be the end for Darcy and Elle. Alas, it is not. You see, the two enter into an agreement to FAKE DATE. Yes, that’s right, one of the best tropes. The agreement is in effect until the New Year. As it turns out, like every romance with this trope, Darcy and Elle fall for each other.
Bellefleur’s Written In The Stars is a breezy, quick, sweet contemporary romance. This is the first FF romance I’ve read and honestly, it was great. I enjoyed the development of chemistry and feelings between Elle and Darcy. The two are seemingly opposite but the relationship just fits. I was really invested in this book and the characters. Check this one out if you enjoy fake dating and hate to love.
