I wrote a long, in-depth review for this book and then it got deleted 🫠 so here’s the quick version

Lovelight Farms was such a heartwarming book! I loved Stella and Luka, I loved their friends, and I loved the whole town! I’m very excited to read more about Beckett, Layla, and Charlie.

I do wish the book had been a little bit longer, and that we had gotten more time with Charlie and Elle, but hopefully that’s coming in Charlie’s book! The only other reason I didn’t give this five stars was because I didn’t love Luka’s nickname for Stella 🫣 it always distracted me a little bit. 

I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! 4.5 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.

I absolutely loved thisss - would have 100% read it in one sitting if I hadn’t had work in the morning 
The relationships between the characters felt real and fleshed out and I really believed in the couples tho I wish we’d gotten a bit of a closer glimpse into at least one of the side character romances that are briefly mentioned 
Overall so so glad I finally got around to reading this I had a great time :)

4.5

you literally got me when it says the book is fake dating & best friends to lovers!! LITERALLY LOVE THESE TROPES SO MUCH. and oh my gosh, b.k. absolutely DELIVERED in giving all the best parts of besties to lovers that i love - the angst, the mutual pining, “i’ve always been in love with you”, “i don’t want us to ruin our friendship” AHHH. i had the best time, i LOVED the side characters (and can’t wait to read their books!!), and loved the small town so much.

Here's the thing. I did enjoy this book. But there were a few times where Harry Potter was mentioned and in a book released in 2021, that's just not going to do it for me. It took me out of the story and I just found myself cringing and just frustrated. 

But. overall,  I did enjoy the book. It was a cute Christmas romance and I had a lot of fun hearing these characters interacting. That said, I feel the "conflict" they had that all romances have was just... meh. It. was miscommunication to a level I just found frustrating and led me to just not really feel moved by the makeup.  Which really took away from the relationship between these two characters. I can't say much more without spoiling, so I'll leave it at that.
