I'm officially in my EmHen era! I loved the premise and the twist on a well loved trope. This is a book that knows it's a small town romance and decides to bring two city lovers to it.
Nora was such an interesting character. She's someone who appears to have a cold hearted, ruthless exterior. She's the "foil to the local sweetheart", who always puts her career first above all, so much so that she earned herself the nickname, "the Shark". But in actuality Nora cares a lot. She's a perfectionist that works hard in order to help her sister. She keeps checklists and sticks to them. If there's a problem, she will stop at nothing to find a solution. As Emily writes, she's The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly and The Parent Trap's Meredith Blake if they had their own love stories.

And Count von Lastra aka Charlie Lastra? I loved him! He and Nora are so similar. They both are city people and love their careers. Charlie and Nora's banter was one of the funniest I've ever read. I laughed out loud so many times. And when they're not bantering, they're having mature, meaningful conversations. They communicate with each other honestly and respectfully.
This was my first Emily Henry book and it definitely did not disappoint!
