Written in the Stars (by Alexandria Bellefleur)

I wanted to like this more than I did. The characters are charming and I love that this is a F/F romance (with bisexual rep) but the plot didn't quite work for me.  Supposedly this is about fake dating (and I love that trope) but they drop that ruse really fast.  Basically everything you think will be an obstacle for our couple isn't; when we finally do get to the "oh no everything has gone wrong" moment, it doesn't quite ring true.  Also I wasn't surprised when fanfiction came up as a topic because the sex scenes were full of tropes from fanfic.  

Anyway maybe I'm not a big enough romance fan; I know a lot of people loved this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
