Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

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 best sellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.

Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the woman men date before they find their happy-ever-after. That's why Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her desk in the city for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. 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?

Set over one sizzling August, Book Lovers is the new chemistry-filled 'rivals to lovers' rom-com from New York Times number one best seller Emily Henry.

Easy listening

When you really need a chill out ‘read’ . A feel good romcom. Not my usual choice but felt like a hot choc Sunday after a year of diet.

Funny and charming

I laughed out loud at the banter between the characters but was simultaneously warmed by their stories. A thoroughly enjoyable read with excellent narration.

The banter got me

The witty banter was such a win! I also enjoyed the FMC so much because most stories end with the same evolution into the same stereotypes of wanting kids and this was so comfortably relatable for anyone who doesn't want their story to end that way and still loves the life they chose. Well done!

Emily Henry does it again

I've been waiting for this book to be released and was absolutely not disappointed. I honestly feel like Emily Henry writes books specifically for me!
The chemistry between Nora and Charlie is palpable and she and Libby share a sister connection that every sister wishes they had.
I love Nora's snarky wit and the banter between her and just about all the other characters is everything.
I am hanging out for the next E.H. title ❤

I will be looking out for the Film or TV Series of Book Lovers by Emily Henry

I live in Sydney Australia and the exquisite writing and telling of stories and places, made me want to finally fulfil the dream of travelling to experience New York for the first time. Beautifully written and I had to continue listening at every opportunity I could. (aka, could not put the book down!!)

All of the happy feelings

This book, along with all of Henry’s books, are a feel good time, always with a neatly wrapped ending with a wild emotional ride to get there. They are all fully formed characters who evolve together to earn their ending and that’s my favourite part of her writing.
The banter and quick wit makes it a hilarious story you can’t press pause on. I binged this book until 8am so I can’t recommend it enough.

Fun!

I found this to be a fun and engaging romance! I’d argue that the predictability and clichés of the story were not too far removed from the tropes that the book somewhat mocks. I also found the terrible communication between all of the main characters highly frustrating at times but I realise this is used to build suspense and drama. I just can’t help but think peoples lives would be so much easier if they just talked to each other! But overall I enjoyed the story and I love Julie Whelan’s narration (I’ve listened to three books narrated by her and all are flawless).
