The more I read from Emily Henry, the more I fall in love with her books! She creates such amazing characters and beautiful romances that suck me in every time, and Book Lovers was no different. I didn't think it could get any better than People We Meet on Vacation, but I'm happy to report that it has!

There's so much to love about this book, from the classic small-town trope being twisted on its head to the sweet sisterly relationship to the celebration of a career-driven woman. Not to mention a well-executed enemies-to-lovers romance. It had everything I loved about a classic rom-com but with a fresh take that made it ten times better.

I can't write a review for this book without mentioning Charlie and Nora. Their chemistry was *chef's kiss*. They just worked together, and I appreciated how they were clear with their feelings and intentions from the start. And the way their story played out was so well done in my opinion. It wasn't a traditional HEA, but it made perfect sense for Nora's character.

All of this to say that Book Lovers is definitely worth the hype! Don't sleep on this book--if you haven't read it yet, go pick it up ASAP. You won't regret it!
