It’s amazing, and you should read it ASAP.When I was cruising the shelves at the library, I knew I had to pick up this newer Emily Henry novel.

If you ever had any doubts about picking this up, let me tell you. I’m pretty sure I’ll spend a lot of time thinking about Book Lovers. Now I need to go read everything she’s written. Henry is a fantastic writer who knows how to craft characters, scenes, and dialogue. I also loved Charlie, their banter, and every second they spent together. The villain, the city girl, someone who doesn’t get storybook endings.Īnd it felt so nice for a character like that to finally get a storybook ending. Nora is someone I can relate to on a personal level. One that left you gutted, sure, but also one that changed you forever.” I was rooting for the romance and the characters immediately. Or as Henry puts it “it’s like remembering your favourite book. All opinions are my own.Īfter finishing this book I felt empty inside. I received a review copy from Penguin Random House SA. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again-in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow-what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bo okish brooding editor from back in the city.


Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away-with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. Goodreads Description: Nora Stephens’ life is books-she’s read them all-and she is not that type of heroine.
