This may be a little harsh. I rated Lovelight Farms 3 stars because of the third act breakup and now I’m rating In the Weeds 2 stars… but I’m still going to continue with the series because BK Borison has such promise as a writer!! 

Like Sarah Adams blurbed on the cover, Lovelight is my happy place. I love the town, the characters, the quirks. It’s Gilmore Girls coded and I love reading about this place.

However, I really didn’t love this book. Mind you, Lovelight is made up of “interconnected standalones,” but I don’t recommend reading this book if you haven’t read the first. The first two chapters will be very lack luster if you jump in here. You miss the first part of their story if you skip Lovelight Farms, which is mildly annoying.

One of the most prominent lessons I’ve learned in writing classes is that being happy is not good enough when it comes to character wants / needs / motivation. Yet, that’s exactly what this book is. Evelyn is a burnt out social media star and she’s trying to “find her happy.” Those are the stakes and they’re very low. There’s no external conflict and the third act breakup is steeped in miscommunication.

It’s so disappointing because Beckett is one of my favorite characters in this series and… in my harsh opinion, he deserves more than Evie. 🤷‍♀️ His flaws were not well flushed out and hers were full of excuses. I don’t know. Not a strong book at all.
