"This was a very cute romance! I really enjoyed that even though it was an opposite attracts couple, the author didn’t make Elle and Darcy so different that them falling in love wasn’t believable. I also loved how this was a Pride and Prejudice inspired story, from the misunderstanding insult at the beginning to the nods to Austen’s work in the names and family dynamics of both Elle and Darcy. The author really took P&P as a starting point and then made it their own. My favorite element above all else in this book was the theme of fate and how what’s meant to be will be even if it’s not how you expected. This was emphasized by Elle’s love of astrology and the use of imagery revolving around stars and planets and the sky. It was very aesthetically pleasing the way the author wrote about how Darcy and Elle fell in love."
"This book is really good but not quite perfect. The chemistry between the main characters is fantastic. Their friends are so wonderful and the banter is great. However, as much as I love a happy ending, I felt there were major problems with Darcy’s confidence and Elle’s family that wrapped up too quickly and nicely. It was an excellent read otherwise and I highly recommend it. 🌶🌶🌶/5"

"I loved Written in the Stars!! At first I had a difficult time getting on board with Darcy, but I came around as the story went on. I liked that astrology aspect was understandable enough for someone who is pretty unfamiliar with it. This was kind of a stressful read at times once their families got involved, but it was really cute & I had a lot of fun reading it."
