Bookworms

One summer, two rivals, and a plot twist nobody saw coming... Nora's life is books. She's read them all. But she's not the hero of any of them. Not the plucky one, not the laid-back dream girl. In fact, the only people Nora is a hero for are her clients, for whom she lands big-money deals as a ruthless literary agent, and her beloved little sister, Libby. Which is why she agrees to a sisters' trip to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, for the month of August when Libby begs her for it. She's hoping Nora will have a small-town transformation and become the heroine of her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or a burly bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie, 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. Another in the author's line of bestsellers, this book masterfully combines humour with a romantic plot, making literature itself and its power to change people's lives one of the main themes. “Book Lovers is a multilayered novel and the characters’ family problems are complex. The story offers an insightful, comedic meditation on love, family, and going your own way.” – NPR “Emily Henry is a master of witty retorts.” – Associated Press “One of my favourite authors.” – Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author “It’s humanly impossible for Emily Henry to write a bad book. Whether Henry decides to write a literary pastiche or a holiday rom-com, she subverts her themes in the most delicious ways.” – Entertainment Weekly “Book Lovers is a treat from start to finish, turning the conventional small-town love story on its head.” – USA Today “A fun and flirty novel.” – Cosmopolitan “Book Lovers is every rom-com lover’s dream. Readers know that Emily Henry will always deliver great banter and swoon-worthy romantic storylines, but this might be her best book yet.” – Taylor Jenkins Reid, author
