B.K. Borison

While it is a lovely, heartfelt story, the back and forth of the romance takes a bit too long. Did they ever really address why she snuck out in Maine? Once the crisis happens (80% in?), things tumble quickly to an easy resolution in Star’s Hollow, I mean Inglewyld (audiobook- sorry spelling!).

One issue though (and this is why I only gave 2 stars instead of 3)- authors (talking to you, white ones) REALLY need to choose their words carefully when trying to enable representation. Be consistent- if you keep drawing attention to FMC’s skin colour, why don’t you mention other characters’ skin colour? Checking off superficial boxes is not how representation works.

Audiobook is well done.… (plus d'informations)

I am so glad that I discovered Lovelight Farms and the town of Inglewild, and I hope that Borison changes her mind and writes more stories about other characters in the small town. Borison's characters grow and change over the four books, but remain true to themselves, even when the focus has moved on to another couple. My only complaint about this last installment is that Nova and Charlie's story is a bit too similar to Luka and Stella's story, but, again, it's Borison's characterizations that make this story a success. Even if Nova and Charlie's path is similar to Luka and Stella's, they are very different characters, and that makes all the difference. Borison has given us another warm and fuzzy (and steamy) love story. You probably won't want to have to leave Inglewild either.
