Book Lovers

By: Emily Henry

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

Nora is a cut-throat literary agent at the top of her game. Her whole life is books.

Charlie is an editor with a gift for creating best sellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.

Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the woman men date before they find their happy-ever-after. That's why Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her desk in the city for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. It's a small town straight out of a romance novel, but instead of meeting sexy lumberjacks, handsome doctors or cute bartenders, Nora keeps bumping into...Charlie.

She's no heroine. He's no hero. So can they take a page out of an entirely different book?

Set over one sizzling August, Book Lovers is the new chemistry-filled 'rivals to lovers' rom-com from New York Times number one best seller Emily Henry.

Incredible swoon

This is my favourite romance! Nora and Charlie are amazing. The story is unnecessarily long, but I loved everything else about it!

obsessed and swooning over this book

Everything about this romance is immaculate. From the moment these characters meet I could not get enough of them. It's the most dreamy and sexy enemies to lovers story I've ever read. The banter is on point.

Good story amazing narration

The story was good, Nora was a different FL and I enjoyed seeing her open up.
Julia Whelan did amazing job narrating this and I differently will listen to more stories that she narrated.

Great storyline

Really enjoyed the character development and relatability of them all. Story has something in it for everyone to feel like they’re a part of the cast, and the storyline just kept you engaged and intrigued.

Not necessarily a romance book

While the moments between Nora and Charlie were magic, this really felt like a growth story with romance themes.

The beginning of the story started off so beautifully and made me feel so safe to be back in a world created by Emily.

However, there were points when the story just more so felt written about her sister and her with Charlie as a sub-plot (kind of like the Heart Principle for reference). I found myself skipping so much of those scenes because I just didn’t feel connected to that part of the story or really cared about it at all. Which caused me to put it down for a week before finishing.

I’m glad I did because her and Charlie really are magic, I just wish it was market better as more of a healing/growth in case you’re a mood reader and not really in the mood for that type of story.

I would still recommend though!

I was hooked

There are so many reasons why I love this book but I don’t know how to explain them without spoiling the story so I will just say that I read it in a day and I didn’t know how the story would go until I got there. Nothing was obvious. This book turned my bad day into a happy one.

Witty and well written story/narration

The book is well written with realistic characters and interesting/witty conversation. The narration was quite good. It is an audiobook worth your time

Sunshine in a book

This book is a pure shot of serotonin. I’ve loved every moment.

I only have one critique and that is that I’ve never, for one bit thought they were enemies. The chemistry and the banter was blistering and on point from the get-go.

Love. Love. Love.

A Good Romance

Nora is a literary agent who takes care of everyone. Charley is an editor known to be tough on his clients. When Nora pitches him a romance from her favorite author he rejects it out of hand. After the novel is a huge hit Nora and her sister take a vacation to the North Carolina Town where the novel was set only to find it is the home town of the disgruntled editor.

Nice romance. Pacing a bit slow plot with a few holes. The long vacation to Carolina for two New Yorker for example. Our how 2 (near) teen girls supported themselves in nyc. It dragged for me at the end. I liked the message about love with boundaries.

Julia Whelan was excellent with the delivery

Great characters and LOL moments

I loved this. More than a general rom com it was sassy with lots of laugh out loud moments. The characters were fab.
