Such a great read!
I am not normally a lover of romantic, contemporary romance books, but Book People by Emily Henry was great. I loved it. I laughed, I cried, and I didn’t want it to end. Maybe it’s the setting in New York City, maybe it’s because it’s about two people who are in the book publishing world, and maybe it’s even the fun way that a small town, typical trope story is being pulled apart.

A Delightfully Charming Rom-Com from Emily Henry
Emily Henry's "Book Lovers" is a charming and witty escape that delivers exactly what it promises: a smart, satisfying romantic comedy. If you're looking for a rom-com book that will make you laugh out loud and get swept up in the story, this one's for you. What truly shines in "Book Lovers" is the dynamic between the two main characters, Nora Stephens and Charlie Lastra. Their banter is absolutely top-tier – sharp, hilarious, and captivating. The back-and-forth dialogue exchanges are a delightful treat. It's the kind of verbal sparring that makes you root for them from the very first page. Henry also cleverly plays with classic Hallmark rom-com movie tropes, flipping them on their head in amusing and unexpected ways. It's a fun meta-commentary that adds an extra layer of enjoyment for fans of the genre. While the ending felt like it might have dragged out just a touch longer than necessary, it didn't detract from the overall experience. "Book Lovers" is, without a doubt, an enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining read that will leave you with a smile. It's the perfect pick for a cozy afternoon, summer reading list, or a delightful vacation read!

Loved It!
I’ve read others by this author and had mixed reactions so I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this one but thought I would give it a try, and I am so glad I did. The characters in this one, as opposed to the others I read, felt real; they were likeable and relatable. The situations Nora found herself in were likewise relatable – who doesn’t try to make life easier for their loved ones? – and I felt her frustration and pain when she couldn’t reach out to her sister, Libby. Her relationship with Charlie was fun to follow and you could feel the chemistry and tension but also the vulnerability. I loved everything about this book, and I highly recommend it for a fun, summer read.

Solid romcom
Book Lovers is a solid romcom. The commentary on typical Hallmark movies was fun, the banter had me cackling, and ending gave me all the feels. I didn't love this as much as Funny Story by the same author, but I still think it's a solid four star romance!

A Charming Escape with Heart and Sisterly Love
Book Lovers by Emily Henry is a heartwarming and witty romance that explores the complexities of family, ambition, and unexpected love. The story follows Nora Stephens, a sharp and successful literary agent known for her tough exterior and big-city energy. When her sister Libby convinces her to spend a summer in the charming small town of Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, Nora expects a quiet getaway. Instead, she keeps running into Charlie Lastra, a brooding editor from her past. As the summer unfolds, Nora finds herself in a storyline she never expected—one filled with emotional growth, self-discovery, and a surprising romance. I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a refreshing twist on the typical rom-com formula. The small-town setting reminded me of Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, with its cozy charm and quirky characters. While I couldn’t fully relate to Nora, I appreciated watching her grow throughout the story and slowly let her guard down. What stood out most to me was the beautiful bond between Nora and her sister, which gave the story a touching emotional core. Emily Henry’s writing is clever and heartfelt, and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of her novels.

Laugh out loud funny!
I laughed out loud multiple times listening to this audiobook. I enjoyed the relationship between Nora and her sister Libby, a combination of genuine love and a recent distance they need to resolve. The banter between Nora and Charlie was hilarious. The obstacles to their romance were interesting and believable, and were ultimately resolved in a nice realistic way. Fun story!
