This is my first Emily Henry book and I really enjoyed it. Romance is typically not my genre. I can’t do the mushy, happily-ever-after stuff, but Book Lovers felt different. It poked fun at the typical main character going to a small town and falling in love with the town hottie trope, which I appreciated. The fun banter between the main characters, relatable real-life scenarios, and somewhat steamy moments were interlaced so well.

Nora is the hardworking New York City girl and work is her number one priority, that, and taking care of her sister, Libby. So when Libby begs to go to the setting of their favorite book, she begrudgingly agrees to leave the city. Then she runs into the broody editor, Charlie, and she can’t ignore the previous time they met... which didn’t go well at all. And along we go with Nora, Libby, and Charlie’s month in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina.

I guess you can say that I too am a Book Lover.
