This is a great friends-to-lovers novel. It's very trope-heavy, as you might expect from the Hallmark movie type plot, but it is very cute. Luka and Stella's relationship is really sweet and intimate. I would have liked to see a bit more of their families, I think, especially during the epilogue, to see how their romantic relationship impacts their other relationships.
I've only read Christmas romances rarely, but I think this is a good intro to the genre! I'd be interested in reading the other titles in the series to see the other characters' stories (and maybe some cameos of Luka and Stella).

This book gets a lot of praise, as does the rest of the series. At least that’s what I’ve seen. I greatly enjoyed this story, but there were a few issues I had. I really wish this story would have been a dual POV. I don’t think the single POV served any purpose while I think dual POV could have added so much to this story. That’s just my preference and opinion though.

I love the friendship/relationship Stella and Luka share. They are true ride-or-die friends. Yet it drove me nuts that Stella was so obtuse when it came to Luka’s reciprocal feelings. I think she did a much better job of hiding her true feelings from him than he did from her, yet she was clueless. The man basically spells it out for her and still…crickets. It was frustrating as the reader to feel it was just being used to lengthen the story. But I did love these two together, especially when they were letting the walls down and acting on their true feelings.

There was still a lot about this book that I liked. I’m curious about all of the side characters and want to see where things are going for them, so I’ll be reading at least one more to see how this author’s writing progresses. I believe this was her debut so there is a bit of grace there. I did care about the characters and the story, I just felt certain things were drawn out too long more for the page count than the actual story.

It was cozy, cute, steamy, funny, and very Christmasy.

But how could anyone who’s been in love with someone not know that the other person’s been feeling the same this whole time? Considering all the actions he’d shown and a confession to top it all?

The book enveloped me in its cozy Christmas farm where friendship is shared and the only things broken down are delicious pastries (if we’ll let the property damage incident pass, that is). I’ve shared my laughs with these lovable characters. I loved their quirks and genuine connections. The author was also good at narrating steamy scenes.

However, I won’t deny my annoyance at the female lead. How could she be so indenial about the truth? That was the only thing that dragged it for me hence I’m only giving it 3 stars.

This is the book that got me into romance and cemented my favorite tropes. The secret love that Stella and Luka have for each other? Unmatched.

One of the best friends to lovers EVER! I loved this book so so much, I know I will read it over and over again. Stella and Luka have the perfect love story and the setting just makes it even better. I can’t believe I existed with this book for my book shelves unread for months! <3
