Book Lovers

This is my first Emily Henry book and I loved it! The setting was fun, the humor appealed to me, and the characters were relatable. The conflicts got me rolling my eyes, but I'm happy about how they were resolved.

This book was fantastic. It's a classic enemies-to-lovers story, but it's crafted beautifully. Nora is initially positioned as the "city girlfriend" that gets repeatedly dumped by the protagonists of other stories. However, she is relatable, well written, and her relationship with Charlie feels natural and honest.

They don't do the tired plot point of not being open with each and then getting upset over a misunderstanding. Both characters live their lives in a straightforward and direct manner, and communicate to each other in a similarly honest way. This made their struggles feel less selfish, and more collaborative.

I was real worried about how Henry was going to end the story (I even had my stationary at the ready to write a strongly-worded letter), but she stuck the landing. I will be reading more of her work.

Book Lovers was an ideal summer read. 

My favorite part of Book Lovers was the many excellent book references and book loving quotes. Books are the best, aren’t they? 

The funny writing in Book Lovers hooked me from the beginning, and I loved the characters and sister relationship. This book gave love to both small towns and big cities, and had a satisfying frenemies-to-lovers type romance.
