Book Feature - Book Lovers by Emily Henry
HBL Note: This book was SO cute! It unapologetically plays into the rom com tropes, but in the most adorable and self-aware way. The story follows two people in the book industry, a literary agent and an editor, who haven’t seen eye to eye on books in the past. But when they unexpectedly end up in the same small town one summer, sparks fly while their carefully constructed worlds seem to collapse around them. Emily Henry is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read. Her books are often the talk of the summer, so you won’t want to miss this one.

From the publisher:
Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. 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.
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. 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. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute.
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.
