Snow capped mountains, log cabins, lovely fires and Christmas, what more can you ask for. Oh yes, this book, its been very well written and enjoyable, I didn't want to put it down. It's a tale of two halves set in this country and the US. Wonderful story and I recommend it

Wishes Under a Starlit Sky was a love story in every sense of the word - the love between friends, family, and the love for oneself. It’s about reconnecting with yourself losing yourself and after heartache. I enjoyed watching Harper find herself and figure out who she was after her marriage fell apart. This is truly a story about self-discovery, healing, and finding happiness, even if that happiness looks nothing like you first expected. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in the last decade is that things don’t always turn out how you expect, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Harper learned that too, and I think it’s something a lot of people will relate to. This is a lovely, heartwarming story to curl up with on a cold winter night.

Being a script writer for a big romance channel, Harper Hayes’ life is picture perfect, or so she believes. Until life throws a curveball and Harper has to decide whether she believes in true love at all.

After wallowing in the sadness for far too long, Harper’s best friend Madi decides something needs to be done, Harper Hayes needs to be the leading lady in her own life! This leads them both to spend time with Harper’s parents on the snowfields of Colorado amongst a beautiful supporting cast of characters. Where Harper finally realises she is enough all by herself.

Instead of Harper finding a new partner I adored the way the author shows her falling in love with herself again, and doing the things that made her happy without relying on someone else. All of the YES!

This is the first book I’ve read that was written by this author and I have to say it was fantastic. I loved the flow of the story it kept moving and it kept me enthralled. I couldn’t wait to find out the ending but I wasn’t ready for it to end. Thanks Ms. Knott for such a great book. I would definitely read more of your stories.

This is an Netgalley ARC review. All opinions are solely mine.

Lucy Knott’s Wishes Under a Starlit Sky was heartwarming. It wasn’t an overly Christmas book, it just has multiple scenes set around the holiday season. This book is full of perfect descriptions of Colorado during holidays. It is so perfect it makes me miss my time in Colorado at Christmas. It is magical,

Harper is a Oman who has to find her strength and self importance. She has a dream and makes it happen. Harper is surrounded by her friends and parents who all help her in their own ways.

This book made me feel all the feelings. I can’t wait to read more from Lucy Knott.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and Lucy for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have absolutely loved this book. Lucy captures my attention from the beginning and keeps me hooked. She is such a talented author and always creates a range of likeable characters which are easy to relate to. Definitely a five star read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You know what? This books was not at all what I had expected it to be. I mean, it’s about a romance writer who is betrayed by her love. You think you know what’s coming next right? Well, it’s not that.
Rather than focus on Harper finding new romance, Lucy Knott opted instead to focus on Harper falling back in love with herself. And while that process did not at all look like anything I could ever imagine myself doing? The author manages to describe that journey in such a way that I felt as if I could follow along every step of the way.
The best way to summarise the entire experience, I think, is “open”. Every single character in this book is so incredibly open to change, to growth, to love ... Honestly, reading this book almost felt in a way, like a meditation al experience. Only, it manages to do so without ever being belligerent. Oh, and with a lot of snow, heart warming moments and no less than three Christmases!

This was another absolutely gorgeous book from Lucy and it came in to my life at a time I really needed. Harper's story was inspirational from beginning to end and taught me so much about how to live my life and that you don't need to be defined by someone else.

Wishes Under a Starlit Sky is a love story like no other and one of my favourite Christmas reads so far this year. Plus, I'll join everyone else in saying what a wonderful Christmas movie this would make! Hallmark and Lifetime... come and meet your next perfect project!

Happy publication day, Lucy!

The perfect Christmassy read in the lead up to the festive season. I utterly adored Harper, and i must admit I have some serious job envy. My heart broke for Harper in the first section of this book, but I loved seeing her rebuild her life. Her family are also such lovely characters.

This book would work perfectly as one of the sweet and uplifting TV movies you see in the weeks before Christmas . . . maybe Harper can write it? ;)

When you are in the mood for a light hearted read, full of love, friendship, family, moving on and happiness, then come to this book. Oh and I forget the best thing, Christmas feels. I adored this book, it’s another great read from Lucy. I did find that she moped a bit too much for me, but who am I to judge how you’d react after betrayal, I loved the friendship between harper and Maddi. This is a lovely seasonal read, recommended to bring a smile

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Wishes Under a Starlit Sky by Lucy Knott is set around Christmas but can really be read any time of the year.

Main protagonist Harper has a job she loves, a husband she adores and great friends and family. Until her husband leaves her for another woman. She is absolutely devastated but she has her best friend Madi to help her heal.
First Christmas is spent without her husband, grieving her loss. For the next year's Christmas they decide to go visit Harper's parents in Colorado and that's when the healing begins.

This is a lovely book about love, loss and second chances. Beautiful Colorado setting especially around the holidays is absolutely breathtaking.
I thoroughly enjoyed all holiday activities that protagonist participate in as well as a loving relationships between main characters.
I found it a bit depressing to find out that Harper has spent a year laying around in her bed getting over her husband's betrayal. I found it a bit excessive and too much.
It is nicely written with a steady pace and is easy to read.

Wishes Under a Starlit Sky by Lucy Knott is a lovely holiday romance that is sure to sweep you off your feet. A beautifully written romance that is sure to get you in the holiday spirit.

Wishes Under a Starlit Sky is an inspiring and uplifting Christmas story. Set between London and the stunning Colorado mountains, we follow our main character Harper as she tries to rebuild her life after her husband abruptly ends their marriage. The story is beautifully written with wonderful, engaging characters, heartwarming friendships, and mouthwatering vegan food. I found this book to be a refreshing change from the traditional cosy romances. It's a story about friendships, loving yourself, and not being afraid to take risks. Harper was a lovable and relatable character. I enjoyed following her journey as she regained her self-confidence and found the courage to follow her heart. I absolutely loved this book and was very sad to see it end. I highly recommend this empowering, heartwarming festive story. Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderfully wintry and festive read. It's charming and moving. A story of healing and recovery after a break up. This isn't a romance, more one of hope, friendship and family set against a stunning Colorado backdrop.

I give it 3.5 stars

I expected cliché plotting from this book's description, and am very happy to say that while this book follows a bit of a formula, Lucy Knott has crafted a stellar storyline, and brought her characters to life so well. It's an engaging, emotional read of recovering from betrayal and healing, and author brilliantly brings us to some gorgeous settings that illuminate so much in our characters. I'm a big fan of books that breathe, that have sound, taste, movement. Knott brought this world to life, and made sure that all storyline swerves make sense, and the narrative keeps you engaged. I liked this one very much and will read more by this author. It's a big win for an author to take what's best about formula and still give it to us as she adds in logic, smarts, and the deep emotions of connection and love. This is a good one.

This was a really lovely feel good book to read albeit a bit predictable! Harper finds out her husband is cheating on her and struggles to get over it until her life turns in a new direction and she restores her happiness.

Wow!! Loved reading this and didn't want it to end! Harper seemed to have life sorted! Best friend, perfect husband and home, great job.......but....life was about to change. This book is full of what life throws at us all, from friends, family and what happens that makes us all who we are. Found this book pretty inspirational and certainly got me changing my thinking for the positive!
Absolutely cannot recommend this highly enough!
Need to read more from Lucy Knott
Thank you!

I received a advanced copy in exchange for a honest review. Thanks, Netgalley.

I love the cover of this book, and that's about where it stops. This book just felt all over the place to me.

Thank you to NetgalleyUK and HQDigital for a copy in return for an honest review.

💕 I absolutely loved this book.
Once again, Lucy Knott has captured my heart with her writing. She brings her cast together with affection and thoughtfulness. Cleverly manoeuvring their stories forward at just the right pace and weaving together their lives.
Each time a new character is introduced, I find myself wondering how they will fit into the story. Hoping, that they will become a larger part of the journey on Harper's road to recovery. Each one brings a unique and welcoming perspective to Harper's life, with some insightful thoughts along the way. Will Harper find her Happy Place?

There are lovely messages conveyed in Lucy's writing, which I personally found heartwarming and encouraging. They are sent with honesty and gave me a lot to ponder. I have decided that "listening to the Universe" as Harper puts it, will guide me in making any big decisions in the future. Everyone needs a little self-love from time to time, and I believe that the messages Lucy sends within her writing, will mean something different, but very special to every reader.
