Seriously, this exact trope has happened to her FOUR times already. No, Nora is the cold, ambitious city girl who gets dumped by the hero in favor of the small-town baker/painter/christmas tree farm girl. Nora Stephens considers herself to be stuck in a romance trope, but not as the protagonist. Here are the parts I loved that I wasn’t expecting: Nora and her amazing character journey Sure, my favorite and most anticipated aspects (book love and romance) were there and were AMAZING, but it was also MORE than that. Because this book is so much MORE than what I was expecting. I mean, a bookish story about a romance between a literary agent and an editor? Sign me up! And I’m happy to say that not only did Book Lovers live up to my expectations, it surpassed them all. So this year I’ve once again been looking forward to Book Lovers for months in advance. And every book so far lived up to those admittedly high expectations.
From Beach Read to People We Meet On Vacation to Book Lovers – every one of those releases sounded perfect and like they were written just for me. There’s always something too good to read.”įor the past 3 years, one of the things I most looked forward to each year has been the release of Emily Henry’s new book. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again-in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow-what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city.
Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away-with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. Nora Stephens’ life is books-she’s read them all-and she is not that type of heroine.
