Book Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Book Lovers by Emily Henry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book feels like a love letter to Book Lovers--and I also love that I'm Nora (job-wise, not relationship-wise). I kept seeing myself in Nora each time she thinks something is about to go right, but then something bad happens and she tries to fix it and tries to keep everything together, like her sister suggesting that they go to Sunshine Falls to have a sister trip, only to find out that the guy Nora met in NYC, Charlie Lastra, actually lives there and works at his family's bookstore.

Nora tries to avoid him, doing almost everything on the list that her sister, Libby, wants to do while they're there. There is a LOT of the miscommunication trope, with her thinking that Libby is getting a divorce from her husband, or the fact that Charlie is a terrible person that hates books but work for a publishing company and oh he hates her so much only to find out that Charlie lives with his parents to help run the bookstore and also works at home with Nora with a book her author, Dusty, is writing that she thinks is about her.

Nora tries so hard to not be grumpy and tries her best to do her job and be with her sister and not fall in love with Charlie, but she did. But when she finds out that Libby is moving to Sunshine Falls and not stay in NYC, that's when she finally cries, even when she yells at her sister to make her fall out, only to find out she has iron problems while pregnant.

To me, that's very interesting, and I loved that, weirdly, about the characters and the world that was in the book. Nora, Libby and Charlie are my favorite characters, and Book Lovers became the second book that she have written, and I need to read more of her work because I LOVE Emily Henry so much.
