In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, Stella enters a contest with Instagram-famous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, Stella might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem: to make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on her application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only…there is no boyfriend. Enter her best friend Luka. He just stopped by for some hot chocolate and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process. But fake dating his best friend might be the best Christmas present. 

I feel like everyone is reading this book right now so I’m jumping on the bandwagon lol. This was a cute little Christmas read! The setting was so cozy and perfect for the holidays. I felt like I could perfectly picture the holiday spirit in this small town and it was adorable. Fake dating is one of my favorite troupes and it was fun to have a friends to lovers layer added to this. Luka’s character was pretty swoon-worthy and the tension between him and Stella was delicious. Sometimes Stella bothered me with her refusal to ask for or accept help, but I loved that she and Luka brought out the best in each other and she was able to open up and trust others through their relationship. Overall this was a super cute Christmasy read!
