“You think you’ve been lying to me, but you’ve just been lying to yourself this whole time.”

Stella owns Lovelight Farms, a Christmas tree farm that is currently hemorrhaging money and can’t seem to catch a break. Stella decides to see if her luck can change when she enters an influencer’s contest with a monetary prize. The only problem is, she wrote down that she bought the farm with her boyfriend, which she doesn't have. Enter Luka, Stella’s BFF for over a decade. Of course he’ll fake date her. But will there also be something more?

This was a swoon-worthy friends-to-lovers romance with literally the best setting ever for a holiday romance: a Christmas tree farm. Luka and Stella’s love ran deep through their friendship, which was clearly becoming something more throughout the book. I love how they were there for each other during the difficult moments, had so much affection for each other, and just felt at ease with each other since they were friends for so long. Luka’s family is hysterical, because large Italian families are obviously the best ever. Can’t wait to read Beckett and Layla’s stories!
