I decided to read this full series before I jumped back to reviewing them individually, and so much about Lovelight Farms continues to be on my mind. It's the only single-pov book of the series, and I am so glad that it was. Even reading this book from Stella's perspective, it is so obvious how in love with her Luka is from the jump so I'm sure if we got his perspective it would just be a constant state of oh my god she's so pretty and i get to fake date her woowwwwww which would have, in fact, gotten old by the end of the book.

This book is so sweet and Pippa Jayne, the narrator, gave a fantastic performance as Stella. Stella is stressed, has friends and a town who loves her, and a best friend who is constantly driving back to town to "visit his mom." And she is so dumb because once again, even from her perspective, it's clear how much Luka adores her and she is still somehow convinced that everything he does with and for her is platonic. It is truly impressive how she manages to avoid facing the fact that he has feelings for her, too.

Also? The town is FANTASTIC. From the phone tree to the fact that all of the issues the farm is facing is due to
a man who just really wants an alpaca farm
, Inglewild is so Stars Hollow-coded and I love it. There wasn't a single side character that I didn't want to know more about (besides Stella's dad but he's not part of Inglewild so it doesn't count!!)
