This was gooy, sticky and just sugar coated messy. To be in love with someone for so long and have the silliest excuse to finally give things a shot. Pasts are messy, which of course complicates the heart, but my goodness….. there are some things I would change because I’m stubborn, but for a debut novel the author pretty good. ( )

This was the prefect early holiday read and def a new favorite for me in the whole series. I just loved the small town vibes but also jut seeing the start of the all the previous realtionships in the whole series. I really loved the friednds to more story and the farm and the town def gave me gilmore girls vibes!! I know want to re-read the whole series soon!! ( )

The Story:

This is the sort of story that is right up my alley. I fell in love with these characters almost immediately. All of the vibes were just right. The farm, the found family, the unrequited love. It was immaculate. I can't wait to spend more time in this community.

The Random Thoughts: ( )

Stella Bloom's Christmas Tree farm is failing, and she desperately needs an influx of cash to keep it going, so she enters influencer, Evelyn St. James's contest in which she picks the best destination vacation, with the winner earning lots of free publicity and $100,000. On the application, Stella states that she owns the farm with her boyfriend, so she asks her best friend Luka Peters to participate in a fake relationship with her. This leads to many hijinks on the farm and the possibility that she and Luka might become more than friends.

Lovelight Farms is a sweet, cute romance with likable characters and a lighthearted plot. The story is told from Stella's point of view, and it is over-populated with inner monologues about why she and Luca shouldn't be together as more than friends. Also there isn't much of a payoff for the most in-depth conflict in the story between Stella and her father. The best part of the narrative is the camaraderie shared by the characters and the atmosphere of the town of Inglewild. Overall, Lovelight Farms is an extremely easy and fast paced read with nice characters and a lightweight plot. ( )
