Publisher Description
One holiday. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

'Her best yet' Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising
'One of my favourite authors' Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us
'Magical, delightful, and utterly one of a kind' Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis
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 bestsellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.
Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the one men date before finding their happy-ever-after. To prevent another dating dud, Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her city desk for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls.
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?
Brimming with witty banter, characters you can't help but fall for and off-the-charts chemistry, BOOK LOVERS is Emily Henry's best novel yet.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Fresh off a breakup, literary agent Nora Stephens pauses her career-driven city life to visit rural North Carolina with her supportive sister. But soon the self-described book addict sees her small-town fantasies spoiled by the presence of editor Charlie Lastra, who’s very much her equal when it comes to scathing exchanges. The friction between the two only grows as they stubbornly navigate a professional relationship alongside their conflicted personal feelings. Perfect for fans of Younger, Book Lovers is a laugh-out-loud deconstruction of both the publishing world and the modern romance novel, that offers more than enough sneaky warmth of its own.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A summer trip spurs unexpected self-discovery in bestseller Henry's latest rom-com (after People We Meet on Vacation), a moving examination of love, belonging, and family. Since childhood, literary agent Nora Stephens has structured her life around taking care of her sister, Libby, four years her junior, so when an exhausted and—Nora fears—increasingly distant Libby suggests a monthlong trip to small-town Sunshine Falls, N.C., Nora eagerly agrees. As she wrestles with Libby's irritability and strives to make her happy while trying to find her own equilibrium—including making a surprising connection with her professional nemesis, editor Charlie Lastra, a Sunshine Falls native—Nora must turn fresh eyes on old problems. Meanwhile, things heat up between Charlie and Nora, but the demands of their professional lives may keep them apart. Henry expertly captures the complexities of close but unbalanced familial relationships along with the distance between the dreams of youth and the realities of adulthood. As usual, her sharp eye for detail in establishing setting and creating empathetic characters engages the reader, and Nora's well-shaded emotional struggles complement the steamy enemies-to-lovers plot and lovely scenery. This introspective romance is sure to please.
Customer Reviews
Perfect
I loved this book so much. The realistic small town romance trope that actually considers their life at home, in the city, was so accurate. I love Nora and Charlie ferociously; and I laughed, I teared up, I grew with them too. Emily, you’ve done it again. Thank you.
