I was drawn to this book cover in Net Galley and had seen Written in Stars everywhere. I need to read that book ASAP.
Annie is very successful and decides to visit her friend cross country in Seattle only to discover she’s on holiday in Vancouver. Enter cute baby brother Brendon to come help out and show her stuff except now he’s tall and muscular and very attractive.
I just loved the hilarious conversations they would have, the places they would go, then the Epilogue!!
I definitely recommend this book made me have all the feels. There was a part there where they didn’t think it would work and I felt like I had been broken up with, I hate that feeling but I felt so broken. I don’t always get those impressions when reading through these books and I loved that I got an echo of that. The huge emotions are my favorite, aquarius here (not a cold emotionless monster). I rate off of emotions lol.
I had taken a picture but after reading I realized I had some of the things they talked about. Look for the Easter eggs in my picture lol.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you net galley and avon books for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.
Synopsis:
In a delightful follow-up to Written in the Stars, Alexandria Bellefleur delivers another #ownvoices queer rom-com about a hopeless romantic who vows to show his childhood crush that romance isn’t dead by recreating iconic dates from his favorite films…
Brendon Lowell loves love. It’s why he created a dating app to help people find their one true pairing and why he’s convinced “the one” is out there, even if he hasn’t met her yet. Or… has he? When his sister’s best friend turns up in Seattle unexpectedly, Brendon jumps at the chance to hang out with her. He’s crushed on Annie since they were kids, and the stars have finally aligned, putting them in the same city at the same time.
Annie booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to Seattle to spend time with friends before moving across the globe. She’s not looking for love, especially with her best friend’s brother. Annie remembers Brendon as a sweet, dorky kid. Except, the 6-foot-4 man who shows up at her door is a certified Hot Nerd and Annie… wants him? Oh yes.
Getting involved would be a terrible idea—her stay is temporary and he wants forever—but when Brendon learns Annie has given up on dating, he’s determined to prove that romance is real. Taking cues from his favorite rom-coms, Brendon plans to woo her with elaborate dates straight out of Nora Ephron’s playbook. The clock is ticking on Annie’s time in Seattle, and Brendon’s starting to realize romance isn’t just flowers and chocolate. But maybe real love doesn’t need to be as perfect as the movies… as long as you think your partner hung the moon.
