Alexandria Bellefleur

In a delightful follow-up to Written in the Stars, Alexandria Bellefleur delivers another 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 them 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.

"rtc - really average"

"The entire story was based on if Annie was willing to move for her best friend and having the potential of love and while I get that it’s a big decision, I didn’t need it repeated over and over and over again. I got it the first 3 times. However, when that wasn’t getting mentioned, the boo had some really great (and spicy) moments. I loved game night and seeing Annie bond with Elle, along with her existing relationship with Darcy. Overall, a really good read."

"Hang the Moon is the second book in the Written in the Stars series, and I enjoyed both books! This was a cute story, but I had a little more fun with the first one. <br/><br/>I like the characters in these books as a group, but Annie is the main character in this one, and she irritated me after a while. Sometimes it felt like she was being unnecessarily dramatic for no reason, and I don't understand why she was so dead set on doing something she didn't want to do (you'll see it when you read it). Towards the end, she was being more immature and at times she was cruel.<br/><br/>That being said, these books are still really cute, and I liked it overall. I'm looking forward to reading Margot's book next."

"Another amazing book by Bellefleur! It has so much to offer, I finished it in a day! Excellent writing and character development as always! Don't miss out on this amazing rom-com!!!!"

Zoe Beilfuss

"It's queer, hopeless romantic, childhood crushes, recreations of famous dates, and a male lead that is the romantic. This is everything friends to lover summer beach read needs. It slaps."

Jacqueline Badessa

"Sweet, steamy, and cheesy. To the very end."

"This book struck such a beautiful balance between realism and fairytale romance. The rom com vibes are so strong but feel right and believable. 10/10"

"Great book. I like book #1 better but I loved all the scenes between Elle and Annie. Mostly bc Elle is literally my twin. She’s loud and spontaneous and nerdy. It’s awesome. I think this book is a good book for people who are a fan of traditional rom coms. I love that there are more books for 20-somethings. It’s pretty ******* awesome!"
