[ARC Review] Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
Darcy likes things neat and tidy: her apartment, her spreadsheets at work, her relationships. She definitely des not buy into things like soul mates. But then Darcy meets Elle on a blind date, courtesy of Darcy's brother, and Darcy can add astrology to her list of ridiculous things she doesn't buy into. Elle is Darcy's opposite: an astrologer, a little messy, and emotionally vulnerable. And despite the sparks between them, Elle doesn't need a star chart to know that it won't work between her and Darcy. But Darcy needs Elle to help her save face in front of her family, and suddenly Elle is in a pretend relationship with the prim and proper Darcy. But when the fake dating starts to get more and more real, Elle and Darcy will have to decide if their signs are aligning or if they're receiving celestial mixed signals.
Written in the Stars was an absolute joy to read. Elle and Darcy were both adorable and, at times, adorably frustrating when it came to falling for each other. Elle was free-spirited yet vulnerable, and her personality leaps off the page. Darcy simultaneously came off as a bit closed off in Elle's point of view, yet her character bloomed in her own point of view. Both stories intertwined beautifully in this interesting plot. This story was more than just a girl meets girl tale; Bellefleur shows how imperfections are not flaws, and sometimes the person you think is your opposite might just be your one true pairing.
A huge thank to HarperCollins and Netgalley for the chance to read Written in the Stars in advance of its release date.
