"Bellefleur leans gently into the opposites attract trope in this playful contemporary romance. . . The romance itself is swoon-worthy and Bellefleur sensitively handles both protagonists' bisexuality. The results are both incendiary and super sweet." - Publishers Weekly
"Bellefleur's knack for snappy dialogue and engaging character dynamics is on display. . . An irresistible, banter-filled romance." - Kirkus Reviews
"Bellefleur has a droll, distinct voice, and her one-liners zing off the page, striking both the heart and funny bone. She has a gift for comedy, possessing more style and panache than a debut writer has any right to... 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." -
