Note: If this review sounds a bit rushed, it is because I had written a lengthy review- then accidentally hit the back button on my gaming mouse. One of those days. 
 What Light is the perfect YA book to read during the Holiday season. It's full of adorable, heartwarming moments and is full of meaning while still remaining lighthearted. 
 What Light follows Sierra whose family runs a Christmas tree farm in Oregon. When the Holidays draw near, they pack up and head for California to set up their Christmas tree lot. Sierra doesn't bother to expand on her California life, doesn't see the point of getting to know anyone new, especially any boys. That was until she met Caleb, and was instantly smitten with him. There was one problem- Caleb had a terrible reputation, and rumors of his violent past and huge mistakes made their way to her. Sierra is determined to learn the truth and finds herself falling in love despite the fact that the rumors might be true. 
 There was tons of adorable overload in this book. I loved the setting and the Christmas theme and that this book delves into true forgiveness. I enjoyed the story, although I definitely have some complaints. 
 All of the characters. None of the characters felt real. At all. They all felt fake and did things that were either incredibly shocking (Caleb's secret) or were not true to character at all. (Sierra liking Caleb, despite her perfectionist record with boys.) The characters all fell flat, which made this book super fluffy. So, while the plot was pretty good and the idea was there, the delivery was empty because the characters just couldn't carry the story all the way through believably. 
 I was extremely excited to read What Light as Thirteen Reasons Why is one of my favorite books ever. But in the end I gave it three stars as I felt like it was okay, but it just wasn't a home run and didn't live up to my expectations. I would still recommend it during the holiday season if you are looking for something more fluffy.
