Reread in 2024. A wonderful book with all the wit and banter you can expect from an Emily Henry book!
Nora and Charlie were so great and I loved the bookish plot and small town setting. The excerpts of Frigid (the book within the book) were a nice touch and offered an interesting angle to Nora’s character growth.
I laughed out loud many times but especially at the prologue. It really nailed those big city/ small town romance books.
I also loved the family centeredness of the book (though I’ll admit Libby got on my nerves a bit, likely because we were seeing her only through Nora’s eyes, painting the picture of the quintessential little sister)
Book Lovers is in my top three Emily Henry books so far and I highly recommend it

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. I do have one niggle however, the blurb says Nora and Charlie are ‘work nemesis’. I would have to disagree, they had met each other once and came across badly to each other, then didn’t see each other again until the main part of the story… hardly a backstory/reason to be called each others nemesis. If I hadn’t read the blurb I would have said they weren’t particularly fond of each other. But the story itself was fantastic.

I really enjoyed Beach Read, so I was expecting to like this one too especially because I love books about books. This fell really flat for me. I found a lot of the dialogue and physical intimacy in the main relationship to be super cringey and lack depth. There is surprisingly little plot and the ending didn’t do it for me. This had potential, but unfortunately it will not become my new Emily Henry favorite.

I don’t actually have the words to explain how much I loved this book - all I will say is that if I wasn’t laughing I was absolutely sobbing. I related to Nora in a way that I’ve never related to any other fictional character ever. Our stories aligned in so many ways it was almost creepy.
This was my first Emily Henry book and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to pick up one of hers but I know I won’t be stopping any time soon.
I would recommend it if you love a heartfelt story about sisterhood, finding yourself and falling in love along the way.
