Book Review: Emily Henry - Book Lovers (published in 2022)


This book ticked all the right boxes for me. EMILY HENRY can write such good characters and dialogues it's difficult to think they only exist on the pages of a book. 

BOOK LOVERS felt like a suspense novel for me. I've never been so invested in love story as the one between Nora and Charlie. She's a literary agent living in New York. The men she has dated have almost all had small town flings and have left her. She's living in a romance novel, only she is at the wrong end of it. Charlie is an editor. He also lives in New York. They meet, argue and hate each other. 

Nora's sister Libby has a great idea for her. They have to live the small town life that Nora's exes have done. Who knows, maybe Nora will run into the love of her life there? They move to a small town which was the setting of one of Nora's client's books. There she runs in to Charlie of all people. 

I'm going to leave you there, just know that when you read this book you should be ready for realistic and laugh-out-loud dialogues between the characters; a real heartfelt story; and I can't promise you you won't cry.
