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.

Great If You're Already A Fan, Not So Much If You Aren't.

Reviewed in Australia on 12 May 2022

I've been told that this is Henry's best book yet. So I'm a little nervous to read anything else. I didn't hate the read, but I certainly didn't really enjoy it either. I wanted to skip ahead so many times.

Nora is cardboard coated in cement. Granted, she did have a minor growth during the story, she was just came off uptight and juvenile at times. I really did want to like her, I tried so hard. Her relationship with her sister was one of the weirdest sibling relationships I have experienced. Communication was severely lacking there. Libby didn't seem to get enough time to be developed, then she ended up being part of the big bang for the story. It felt a little rushed and unplanned. Charlie was a borefest. Possibly one of the worst MMC love interests on the pages that I've seen recently. The setting was off, I'm not sure what kind of vibe that was meant to be strived for, but it didn't hit it.

I'm hoping this book and story was just not for me.
My positive here - is our edition here in Australia is so beautiful and colourful. It'll look so pretty on my shelf.

I'd recommend this for you if you're already a fan on Henry's or if a romance is your thing when there is no proper building and is just pure chaos.

Emily Henry has once again taken an aspect of my personality and written a book about it. Book Lovers was so great I immediately texted my sister and told her that one of my favourite authors had written a book about us, and it was brilliant.

I laughed a lot, I cried a bit, and I feel like I just had a big hug.

I don’t have much to say here that won’t spoil important aspects of the story other than this: I highly recommend you read this book.

TW: This book contains mentions of loss of parent, grief, anxiety, PTSD-related symptoms, etc.

Emily Henry is firmly cementing her herself as a comfort read author for me. This is the second book of hers I've read and the second time I've given her work five stars. Book Lovers is a wonderful story filled with beautiful complex and flawed characters, and so much emotional and personal growth.

Charlie and Nora are two characters, who at first glance, appear to have nothing in common except professions in the literary industry. However, these two people suddenly find themselves in the same small town at the exact same time, for completely different reasons. It's here they discover that they actually have more in common than initially thought.

What I adored about this book was how easy it was to delve into and feel a part of their (fictional) world. From the first page to the last, I was hooked. Their wins and their losses felt like my wins and my losses; and I was eagerly invested in their well-deserved happily-ever-after.

I loved that the romance between Charlie and Nora felt easy and comfortable as it made for the change of focus to other areas in their lives more simple. There were so many individual aspects to unpack in this story (e.g. family, friends, exes, their history) but it never felt rushed or unnecessary which is exactly what I need in a book that touches on heavier subjects.

Overall, another great book by Emily Henry and one that I'm already considering how soon I can begin my re-read!

The wait is finally over!

Reviewed in Australia on 24 May 2022

As always, Emily Henry never fails to deliver. This book was everything I could ask for and then some. Nora was such a relatable character, her dedication to protecting the people she loved shining through, above everything else. And Charlie was so easy to fall in love with, especially as you learned more and more about what made him the person he was.

The anticipation I felt, waiting to read this was something else entirely. And now that I've finally finished reading, I know that it was well worth it!

Just buy this already!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2022

Another massive win from Emily/for us!

As expected, a beautifully written story with crystal clear descriptions that arent ridiculously flowery (thankfully) nor are they overused (she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding... Am I right?). As you can imagine, I'm not a big fan of long descriptions. I like action and lively diologue. But here Emily gives us LOL and heart breaking actions, superb diologue and descriptions that you've never read before and you wonder "how have these words never been used to describe this situation/characters/story before by another author?!".
Emily was good before. But here she's a genius! A master of her craft! Someone to aspire to be like (or just become friends with). She doesn't need to get any better than this, but if she does, that would be a lottery winning ticket to us readers/her bank account and all the people behind the scenes that make this happen and get paid to do so. Apologies for all the rambling. I'm just so in love with this book/these characters/the tears she made me cry/the HEA!
You probably read the blurb already, so now just jump right in. THIS is what 80% of the books should be like but aren't. Emily is magic!

Having said all this, I have a small warning for you (regarding the content): one of the characters suffers from Parentification (if you are a new mom you may have come across this on IG or else you may identify with this character and understand why you behave the way that you do). I'm not going to explain this here as I'm not a therapist and it's not my place (but I would suggest a quick search to understand it). Some people may find it slightly (psychologically) triggering. It is beautifully done and not just a gimmick.

Now buy it, stay up late reading it, cry over it and thank Emily later :)

Ali's Adventures

For book lovers everywhere. Perfection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2022

Nora is a cutthroat literary agent, trying to mend the increasingly strained relationship with her sister. When they take a trip to the setting of her sister's favourite book, the last person she expects to (repeatedly) run into is her literary adversery, editor Charlie.

Admittedly, I struggled to warm to Nora in the opening chapters, and found those same chapters a little slow going. But from the second the sisters arrived in Sunshine Falls, I really warmed to her. By chapter nine I was totally invested and beginning to understand why Nora had become the woman she was now. Nora has lived her life putting herself last. It was heartbreaking reading about how she had been compartmentalising her feelings for so long.

I loved Charlie. In many ways he's like me. A stranger in his own family. He has the same dry sense of humour as Nora (and myself), and I found myself rooting for them almost immediately. Their banter was top tier: simultaneously hilarious with wicked sharp retorts but also hot as sin; and it always felt authentic (I have entire pages annotated). The chemistry was incredible. This is slow burn, enemies-to-lovers/soulmates done right. But more than that, this is a story of self-acceptance, and of sisterhood. I probably cried non-stop for the final ten chapters. That, for me, is the sign of a great book. Book Lovers is a story of two of them trying to find that perfect last page.

My first book by this author, I will definitely be catching up on Emily Henry's previous books!

Overall Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Heat Rating: 🔥🔥 and a half
Emotional Rating: 😂😂🥰😍💔💔😢😢

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I’ve read Beach Read and You and Me on Vacation and enjoyed them but they didn’t stick with me. I loved Book Lovers for so many reasons. I love Charlie and Nora, I loved that it’s not just a romance book but also a book about being a big sister. I laughed and I cried and I was so scared of the ending but I’m so glad i read this book.

Pure joy!

Oh this book! It was everything I hoped it would be. Small town romance BUT nobody has to abandon their dreams because they eg had hot sex with a Christmas tree farmer, check. Enemies to lovers but just enough for a spark not so much you legit hate one of them, check. Adult people with adult problems who discuss things like adults, check. Joyful/tongue in cheek romp through all your favourite romance novel/Hallmark movie tropes, check. I just love Emily Henry so much! I'm here for all of her books, and very grateful to Penguin for the arc obviously, but if they could just inject the next one directly in my veins I'd be even happier thank you so much in advance!
