Book Lovers by Emily Henry

An insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Funny Story. As Colleen Hoover puts it: “One of my favorite authors.”

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn’t see coming…

Here’s a treat for anyone who’s ever loved a bookstore this much. Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not your typical heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and definitely not the sweetheart. The only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister, Libby.

So when Libby begs for a sisters’ trip to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, Nora agrees—with visions of a small-town transformation on her sister’s mind. But instead of picnics in meadows or run-ins with a handsome country doctor, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish, brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute, if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute.

What follows is a smart, swoony, laugh-out-loud romance that flips the small-town love story on its head. Perfect for readers who cheer for the sharp-tongued heroine and the grumpy love interest.

This one’s a favorite around the shop—the kind of book you’ll want to read with the ocean breeze drifting in and a cup of tea nearby. Curl up. Linger a while. You’ve found your next great read.
