Review

Few romances feel as refreshingly cosmic and down-to-earth as Alexandria Bellefleur’s “Written in the Stars.” From its first awkward encounter to its effervescent finale, this LGBTQ+ romcom isn’t just about fate – it’s about falling for someone who challenges every expectation.

What instantly sets “Written in the Stars” apart is its sparkling blend of authentic character depth with laugh-out-loud situational humor. The plot revolves around Darcy Lowell – guarded, skeptical – and Elle Jones – a dreamy optimist with her head (and heart) among the constellations. Their worlds collide thanks to a meddlesome family member convinced that destiny can be orchestrated. What starts as a disastrous blind date soon spirals into a fake relationship packed with all the delightful tropes fans crave: slow-burn chemistry, witty banter, genuine vulnerability, and families who refuse to mind their own business.

While many romantic comedies lean heavily on cliché or contrivance, Bellefleur writes relationships that feel real – messy yet magical. Both protagonists are flawed but fiercely lovable; their push-and-pull dynamic pulses with relatability as they stumble through misunderstandings and revelations en route to love.

A standout feature here is Lauren Sweet’s narration. Her performance radiates warmth while deftly distinguishing both Darcy’s stoic reticence and Elle’s sunny charm. Each emotional beat lands perfectly – Sweet delivers snarky quips with effortless timing but also imbues softer moments with moving sincerity. You genuinely believe these are two people grappling with hope, fear, desire…sometimes all at once.

The soundscape remains crisp throughout nearly ten hours of runtime – never fatiguing or overdone – which allows listeners to fully lose themselves in Bellefleur’s universe of Seattle settings, holiday gatherings gone awry, and sweet New Year promises under star-streaked skies.

If there are small criticisms? Some may find familiar rom-com patterns peeking through (fake dating! holiday hijinks!), but such comfortingly predictable beats only add to its cozy appeal rather than detract from it.

“Written in the Stars” shines not just as an LGBTQ+ romance but as an example of how contemporary audio storytelling can bring complex relationships vividly alive – even more so when paired with narration as nuanced as Lauren Sweet’s.
