“Bellefleur has a droll, distinct voice, and her one-liners zing off the page, striking both the heart and funny bone…There’s a sparkling quality here, one that mirrors the starry title. Bellefleur writes as if she’s captured fairy lights in a mason jar, twinkly and lovely within something solid yet fragile.” Entertainment Weekly

Margot Cooper doesnt do relationships. She tried and it blew up in her face, so shell stick with casual hookups, thank you very much.

While touring a wedding venue with her engaged friends, Margot comes face-to-face with Olivia Granther childhood friend, her first love, her first well, everything. Its been ten years, but the moment they lock eyes, Margots cold, dead heart thumps in her chest.
Olivia must be hallucinating. In the decade since she last saw Margot, her life hasnt gone exactly as planned. At almost thirty, shes been married… and divorced. However, a wedding planner job in Seattle means a fresh start and a chance to follow her dreams. Never in a million years did she expect her important new clients Best Woman would be the one that got away.
When a series of unfortunate events leaves Olivia without a place to stay, Margot offers up her spare room because shes a Very Good Person. Obviously. It has nothing to do with the fact that Olivia is as beautiful as ever and the sparks between them still make Margot tingle. As they spend time in close quarters, Margot starts to question her no-strings stance. Olivia is everything shes ever wanted, but Margot let her in once and it ended in disaster. Will history repeat itself or should she count her lucky stars that she gets a second chance with her first love?
