About this listen

With nods to Bridget Jones and Pride and Prejudice, a charming #ownvoices queer holiday rom-com debut about a free-spirited social media astrologer who agrees to fake a relationship with an uptight actuary until New Year's Eve—with results not even the stars could predict!

After a disastrous blind date, Darcy Lowell is desperate to stop her well-meaning brother from playing matchmaker ever again. Love—and the inevitable heartbreak—is the last thing she wants. So she fibs and says her latest setup was a success. Darcy doesn't expect her lie to bite her in the ass.

Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account, Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate. But she knows it is most assuredly not Darcy... a no-nonsense stick-in-the-mud, who is way too analytical, punctual, and skeptical for someone as free-spirited as Elle. When Darcy's brother—and Elle's new business partner—expresses how happy he is that they hit it off, Elle is baffled. Was Darcy on the same date? Because... awkward.

When Darcy begs Elle to play along, she agrees to pretend they're dating to save face. But with a few conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her own overbearing family over the holidays and their arrangement expires on New Year's Eve. The last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a fake relationship.

But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars?

There was an awful lot of lip and inside cheek biting and not a lot of story. I struggled to finish it.

A bit dull

I got to say I loved this book, it was beautifully written and the narrator did a fantastic job at the voices and you could easily tell them apart.
This book is my kind of book, it’s a romantic, charming, funny story, that had me going aww that’s sweet, then I was laughing out loud and then the next minute I was like aww that’s so sad and I was crying.
I couldn’t put it down I was hooked.
The story was about happy go lucky Elle and she is looking for her soulmate, she gets set up on a date with her new business partners sister and she is called Darcy.
And there’s a spark from the start.
I won’t say much as I won’t spoil the story.
I will say I would of loved an epilogue at the end because i felt it missed it.
But I think there’s another book about Brendon who Is Darcy brother and I think Elle and Darcy have a main part in that book so I hope it carries on their story too.

Very easy listening, getting invested in the characters comes naturally from the amazing voice performance to the gripping writing. From the author painting a perfect scene to the reader perfectly capturing the different characters and remaining consistent throughout. A loveable story and plot.

A Story to Get Lost In

I'm only half way through the book but felt compelled to write a review. I was hooked from Chapter 1. From their disastrous first date through their developing attraction for each other the story is so well written that I know my only disappointment will be that it ends. This is a book that I just want to go on forever. The humourus incidents, and there are many, occasioned a rare occurrence - they made me laugh out loud. If you only ever buy one LGBT audible book make it this one

A captivating story

struggled with the first 10 minutes but so pleased I stuck with it, great characters that will make you laugh out loud, and damn this author can write, off to see if she has any other books right now.

BUY IT

Brilliant book with fantastic characters! It’s witty, romantic, cute, and completely addictive! Will definitely listen to this again and about to begin the others in the series.

Loved it!

First I would like to say how im a big fan of opposite attract and slow burn romance stories. Highlighting the stress caused by many at the holiday season is good and added to the feels I got for Elle . I really did want to knock Darcy's brother head together with Elle family for being such idiots , that's great writing for you

I would of enjoyed more without all the harry potter references but perhaps I'm being unkind to the author and jkr toxic behaviour to part of our community wasn't so widely known when the book written . Perhaps its best to keep specifics when referencing other material to just the genre i.e the character liked fantasy books etc . Just a thought

overall enjoyable
