Reviewed by lilliIt was a cute read but especially in the second half it felt very constructed and the story was pretty much predictable. Nothing new but still nice if you wanna read a sweet sapphic romance.
Reviewed by Luna<b>—De eso estamos hechos. Tenemos calcio en nuestros huesos y hierro en nuestra sangre y nitrógeno en nuestro ADN… y todo eso viene de esas estrellas. —Los ojos de Elle brillaron, tan brillantes como las estrellas de las que hablaba mientras parpadeaba y señalaba hacia el cielo. —Estamos literalmente hechos de polvo de estrellas</b> QUE LIBRO MAS BONITO Este libro es demasiado hermoso, es una comedia romántica divertida, tierna, muy adictiva, fácil de leer, las chicas tienen química desde el primer momento, me encanta que sean polos opuestos pero cada una hace lo que es necesario para entender a la otra, me encanta. Este tipo de libros me hace querer estar en una relación, y con eso digo todo. En este libro tenemos a Darcy, nuestra capricornio, muy lógica, ya no cree en el romance ni en las citas pero su hermano (100% amante del romance) le organiza citas a ciegas, y su última cita con nuestra astróloga Elle sale un poco mal, aún así la atracción entre ellas es muy fuerte y para librarse un rato de su hermano Darcy le ofrece a Elle que finjan tener una relación por un tiempo. Solo hay un problema, Elle cree en las almas gemelas y el amor. Me encanta como se va desarrollando la historia, me encanta como ambas se complementan y me moría de amor cada vez que Darcy investigaba algo solo para entender a Elle, incluso pagar una lectura de cartas (cuando ella no cree en eso) solo para hablar con ella. Además hablan de fanfics, ao3, el horóscopo, la astrología, la astronomía, las apps de citas y navidad. <B>La vida es demasiado corta para desperdiciarla en algo que no disfrutas. Es lo mejor de ambos mundos cuando lo que amas también paga tus cuentas</b>
Reviewed by BettinaEine wirklich schöne Liebesgeschichte zweier Frauen, in denen die Sexualität der beiden Frauen nicht im Mittelpunkt steht, sondern selbstverständlich ist
Reviewed by Dietmar_SchwarzOh I really liked this book. Elle is such a likeable, bubbly character and Darcy the perfect matching tsundere. I mean honestly... who doesn't like a little enemy-to-lovers in their life? ;) Also great supporting characters. Margot is great. I'm so glad she got her own book! Sadly the drama at the end felt a little forced, but it didn't take the enjoyement out of the book for me.
Reviewed by LiinLook, I’m a simple woman. The book is sapphic and has the fake-dating trope. My only complaint is, that the ending felt a bit rushed and maybe could have been a little bit longer.
