Book Lovers by Emily Henry
5.0

This book is so funny and charming to start. Simultaneously a Hallmark movie and a spoof of a Hallmark movie. It's like a hallmark movie, but there are no hero's. And people are just people. And who you are is okay and there is someone for you. It's small town charm with bookstores and restaurants named after pubs galore, and it actually does feel very small town in a relaistic way. It's career people who aren't vilians, it is family who stick together and support each other and overall it is SO refreshing.

This book was absolutely nothing like I anticipated (perhaps I didn't ever ever read the dust jacket?) AND it is SOOOOO much better than I could have imagine. Honestly, I was expecting run of the mill, cliche, romance, but MAN was I wrong. Idk what i thought this book was, but i definitely didn't expect to be personally simultaneously attacked and supported in my workaholic tendency
