Spoilers & Thoughts Below!!!
•A cute rom-com story that had me smiling from start to finish.
•Brendon, who is a complete romantic sets out to prove to Annie, who has sworn off relationships that romance isn’t dead and happily forevers do exist.
•I absolutely loved this book so much, it had so many amazing tropes including childhood crush, friends to lovers, the one bed, and cheesy romantic moments.
•Dual POVs of Annie and Brendon.
•Enjoyed all the 90s romance movie references, especially When Harry Met Sally.
•Liked how we got more of Darcy and Elle’s story, which if you haven’t read their book I also highly recommend!
•The pacing in the beginning of the book was somewhat slow but definitely moved along towards the middle.
•I feel like this book was also just a love letter to Seattle and as the reader I loved getting to explore and fall in love with the city like Annie did.
•Annie and Brendon’s chemistry was incredible, their banter was hilarious and they were so adorable. Just absolutely loved their development.
•There is some spice, wasn’t a lot but it still was really good and Brendon was just a consent king!
•Honestly, Brendon’s character is the reason why I fell in love with this book so much. He was adorable, funny, believes in love, watches romance movies, loves Disneyland and even has an UP tattoo. He even gave Annie the space and the time she needed to sort out her feelings and choices. Like where can I find a guy like him!
•Annie was also such a relatable character especially regarding her insecurities about relationships and caring more than the other person. Definitely connected with her so much.
•One of my favorite parts of this book is the discussions regarding public love declarations and what comes after those happily ever afters we see on screen or read about.
•The epilogue was perfect and I was just crying with happiness.
•Overall, just an adorable romance story that will leave you believing in love.

Hang the Moon reminds of all of the great rom-coms while creating its own.
I love this sequel in the “Written In The Stars” series. Alexandria Bellefleur gives a story heavier in romance and heat with Brendon and Annie. I love the heat. (chuckle)I will say that for me, I could totally relate to the sentiment of other online daters of feeling “frustrated rather than hopeful...more pessimistic than optimistic” (p. 9). I am in the online dating world and it is harsh out there. Bellefleur takes this fact and gives us up with Brendon. He is waiting for his perfect one and is willing to go on date after date to find her. He isn’t willing to settle. Love this as I am in this exact headset.Hang the Moon focuses more on happiness and where you are in life. The overall message is to not settle whether it is in romance or work. Happiness is important and not worth being sacrificed to just survive.Bellefleur gives us a first kiss worth reading over and over again. (sigh) It made my heart go “pitter patter”. Everything is more detailed in this book and I love it.Hang the Moon reminds of all of the great rom-coms while creating its own. Brendon and Annie are worth your time. Bellefleur gives us a romance that will want you to look to moon for your own chance at love.

Annie has given up on love. She had a series of disappointment while dating and has sworn off trying again. She is unhappy with her job, her life and her lack of social life. Her best friend Darcy lives across the country and she is heading to Seattle to tell her she is moving to London for a new job (one she isn’t even excited for). Darcy however is away with Elle and so Brendan offers to be tour guide to show her around until she returns.
They have an instant attraction but try to keep it to themselves. When Annie tells Brendan that she thinks romance is dead, he takes it upon himself to convince her otherwise by drawing inspiration from various movie rom-coms. What started off as a ploy to show her love is alive turns their attraction into much more. As their feelings grows deeper Annie breaks the news that she is moving to London and can't get involved with him. When Darcy returns, she along with Elle and their friend Margot help Brendan to woo Annie into loving both the city of Seattle and himself in the hopes that Annie might take a chance and stay after all and finally give love a chance. But Annie is scared to take that leap and doesn't trust that Brendan would catch her if she did.
I adored Written in the Stars and loved this just as much. I have developed a connection to these characters and enjoyed returning to their world. Annie was a complex character and I loved her sassy personality and Brendan was loving and joyful. The dynamics and spark they had was hot and beautiful. The path of love never does run smooth but this story tugged at the heartstrings, provided plenty of laughs while developing all the characters in the series. Another perfect rom-com story but one that have substance and heat. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
