I loved how this book put Margot’s friends (and their budding friendship with Olivia) directly in the action. The genuine investment Margot’s friends had in her happiness made the happy ending all the sweeter.' - USA Today (four stars) The chemistry between them is palpable immediately and ramps up throughout the book Bellefleur doesn’t shy away from letting her heroines yearn for one another, which is a delight. 'Margot and Olivia are a perfect grumpy/sunshine pairing. This tale not only delivers an abundance of wit-infused writing and some scorchingly hot love scenes, it also gracefully illuminates the importance in life of family and the friends we hold most dear.” - Booklist (starred review) “Bellefleur continues on her dazzling trajectory with another completely charming, achingly romantic love story. 'A warm hug of a queer contemporary romance with sparkling prose, heartfelt dialogue, and delicious dirty talk.' - Library Journal (starred review) Will history repeat itself or should she count her lucky stars that she gets a second chance with her first love? 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. 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. Bellefleur writes as if she's captured fairy lights in a mason jar, twinkly and lovely within something solid yet fragile.' – Entertainment Weeklyįollowing Written in the Stars and Hang the Moon, Lambda Literary Award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur pens another steamy queer rom-com about former best friends who might be each other's second chance at love…

'Bellefleur has a droll, distinct voice, and her one-liners zing off the page, striking both the heart and funny bone. There's a sparkling quality here, one that mirrors the starry title.
