About this ebook

One holiday. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

--------

'Her best yet' Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising
'One of my favourite authors' Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us
'Magical, delightful, and utterly one of a kind' Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis

Nora is a cut-throat literary agent at the top of her game. Her whole life is books.

Charlie is an editor with a gift for creating bestsellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.

Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the one men date before finding their happy-ever-after. To prevent another dating dud, Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her city desk for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls.

It's a small town straight out of a romance novel, but instead of meeting sexy lumberjacks, handsome doctors or cute bartenders, Nora keeps bumping into...Charlie.

She's no heroine. He's no hero. So can they take a page out of an entirely different book?

Brimming with witty banter, characters you can't help but fall for and off-the-charts chemistry, BOOK LOVERS is Emily Henry's best novel yet.

I missed all the furore over the earlier books so when this one came up I thought I'd get in early and see what all the fuss was about. I love finding new to me authors, especially when they have a back catalogue I can then go and pillage! Nora is a book agent, she'll do anything for her authors. She treats them like siblings essentially, making sure they get the best deal she can wangle. She is also a helicopter sister. Her client Dusty latest book is a small-town romance and it gets bypassed by Charlie, the latest hotshot Editor. But a few years later the book is on bestseller lists everywhere and it's now becoming a movie. With the movie set in Sunshine Falls, Nora's younger sister wants a girls trip. One with no babies to care for and a chance to recharge her batteries. Nora and Libby are direct opposites when it comes to loving books - Nora needs to know there is a HEA and Libby doesn't even want to know the tropes - she just dives in! Charlie is also in town but will he and Nora have a meet-cute, trope-filled romance or will they end up in the reject pile? An entertaining mix of sibling love, book love and finding love in unexpected places. For all Nora and Charlie have in common, they are such different characters. Their chemistry was good and I enjoyed all the bookisms they shared. I loved watching their ice melt! I'll definitely go back and read the other books now.

Really loved all the interaction between Nora and Charlie but super bored with the back story and other side stories with the sister 😏 spent a fair time skipping lots of those sections sadly. But the 3 stars go to the love I had for Charlie and their relationship developing. This wasn't as gripping as beach read.

this just made my heart melt. it has the small-town aesthetic and all, so cute. but also has a deeper level with the sisterhood and stuff
