4 stars is usually my top for romance novels. I don't know why I pretend like they're any less than a nonfiction or historical fiction or a book that makes some big revelation in the way I see the world.
This, however. This. I came for the easy read. The cute, heartwarming story. And, let's be real, the sex.
I did not come for the crying at the end. The trying to keep my breathing steady so that my husband, lying next to me, wouldn't notice that I was crying at a romance novel. I mean, really? The casually wiping my eyes like "no, I just...happen to keep needing to wipe my eyes, nothing to see here."
To be fair, I am currently on like 3 hours of sleep in the last two days. But the sisters got me, and the ending broke me in the best way.
So, for making me cry, something only a couple of books have ever done, Book Lovers definitely deserves 5 stars.
