De: Emily Henry

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

An insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Funny Story.

“One of my favorite authors.”—Colleen Hoover

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Book Lovers] is multilayered and the characters' familial challenges are complex. By both playing to and overtly subverting romance tropes and archetypes like the high-powered big city woman who neglects her family and the life-affirming power of small-town life, this novel delivers an insightful comedic meditation on love, family and going your own way."—NPR

“If Emily Henry makes herself laugh at the character's dialogue in her own books, it's understandable. She is a master at witty repartee….It's a safe bet that viewers would enjoy seeing Henry's characters come to life on screen."—Associated Press

“It is humanly impossible for Emily Henry to write a bad book. Her particular blend of grief and messy relationships is a heady cocktail of intoxicating yearning…Whatever Henry decides to spear, be it literary posturing or vacation rom-com, she subverts her subjects in the most delicious ways."—Entertainment Weekly

Perfect

Julia Whelan does a beautiful job bringing this book to life. Emily Henry’s delicate prose weaves a witty and heart twisting story of exquisitely imperfect love in all its forms. Absolutely loved it.

I didn’t want it to end

Sly, clever, wink, nod, heart tug, heart throb, heart ache, soul shake. Understated yet layers of delicious upon delicious The way Emily Henry slings words together: how? And also, how else? I’m feeling all the things. I want to read it again.

Perfectly narrated by Julia Whelan.

Charming, However…

This is a clever and satisfying plot with a few laugh out loud moments. The sex scenes are predictable and ponderously written. The relationships described are engaging and evolve over time, but, ironically for a book about book editor, this book could’ve used some significant editing, especially with ubiquitous sentences that ran along the lines of something like this, “The feeling began in my brain and zipped down my spine and back up like a jolt of electricity.” This pattern of description was used so liberally that it became laughable the longer the book light on. Overall, it was an enjoyable story and well written for the most part. For a book about a book editor, it just needed a more ruthless editor.

I’m in love with Nora…and Charlie

This book captured my heart FAST. I’m convinced at this point Emily Henry could write anything and I would love it. Nora’s anxiety was so relatable to read. It was refreshing, honest and raw at times. The narrator was also fantastic for this audiobook!
