"I was hooked from the very first page!" - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of In a Holidaze "This book is a delight." - New York Times Book Review A National Bestseller and winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Romance! Featured on Shondaland, Oprah Mag, Bustle, The New York Times Book Review, Buzzfeed, POPSUGAR, Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post, NPR, Culturess, Vulture, and more. Named one of the Best Romances of 2020 by Washington Post, Bustle, and Buzzfeed! With nods to Bridget Jones and Pride & Prejudice, this debut is a delightful queer rom-com about a free-spirited social media astrologer who agrees to fake a relationship with a grumpy 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 set up 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. Darcy begs Elle to play along and she agrees to pretend they're dating. But with a few conditions: Darcy must help Elle navigate her own overbearing family during the holidays and their arrangement expires on New Year's Eve. The last thing they expect is to develop real feelings during a faux relationship. But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars? "Everything I want from a rom-com: fun, whimsical, sexy." - Talia Hibbert, USA Today bestselling author of Get a Life, Chloe Brown

I know I've used this word too often in my reviews recently, but too CUTE. All of the characters were adorable, Brendan and Margot were perfect side characters. Brendan's love for his sister made me swoon. The jokes between Darcy and Elle cracked me up, especially whenever Darcy surprised Elle with them. I especially loved Elle's character, with her job and her difficulties being taken seriously. I didn't take her job seriously at the beginning of the book, so it was a lesson in prejudice for me as well!

Cute & queer-these are a few of my favorite things
This was fun and a quick, easy read. I love a fake dating trope and I was excited to see it done with queer women, and I liked how well done queerness of multiple characters was done - not a lot of explaining or worrying about it, just this character is pan, this character is demi, this character is bi, and that's just how it is. Loved the kind of opposites attract vibes. I definitely want to read Hang the Moon now
