Book Lovers

Nora is a workaholic and career-oriented. She loves her sister, Libby. She sacrificed her many dreams for Libby. She had to take on the responsibility of herself and her sister at a young age. She works hard because she can't let her past come back.Charlie is sweet. He is also career-oriented and good at his job. He thinks he doesn't fit somewhere. He has a complicated relationship with the town. He has had some bad childhood experiences in this town.Nora and Charlie. Two characters. They are similar, but different. I love them together. Their banter is one of the most entertaining banter I've ever read. They have personal problems in their lives. They find peace in each other's presence. They understand and respect what each other needs, each other's wishes, each other's dreams, and what each other wants. They do not impose one's desires on others. I loved that about them. Their back stories add depth to their characters.I love the story. It's not only a rom-com; the book deals with family matters. Sometimes we have to make decisions that our hearts don't want, for the people we love. This book deals with that too. The characters growth gives depth to the story.

The chemistry is perfectly described by the author.The bond between two sisters Nora and Libby is very relatable and touches your heart.The end leaves you mesmerised and conveys a very important message of prioritising our needs .

It is kind of a “hate to love” story of a literary agent NORA who keeps bumping into her work nemesis CHARLIE.Other than this general plot, there’s a side plot that revolves around the relationship with her sister LIBBY.—- The main reason for my love for this book is the easy breezy and witty writing style.—- All 3 main characters were lovely and I genuinely cared about them. This was due to the fact that their whole life was books.—- There were so many book references that added to the charm. And these references weren’t just limited to classics- There were many from books that I have read . This whole experience amplified my enjoyment levels.—- In such genres , I tend to like it when a little bit of life is thrown apart from the main romance. The story wasn’t just the romance , it had sub plots involving sisterly love/drama. We also get a closer look at the life of a successful literary agent.—- This is undoubtedly my favourite book in the romance genre. Highly recommended.You may love it even if you aren’t a romance reader like me.

Book Lovers describes the story about Nora Stephens which includes her life, family, relationships and a vacation. It is not only a small-town romance as I felt that her relationship with her sister weighed more.I expected it to be a typical romance book, but it turns out that there’s much more than just that. The romance is really intense in the way it was described and the emotions were equally strong. There are some dialogues that almost got me sobbing. Such influential stories are always interesting to read. This is one of those books.

Loved it towards the end. The chemistry between Nora and Libby is well-writen. The characters are just straight forward and blunt, I never felt they were enemies. Although the trope says otherwise, I genuinely think colleagues to lovers is a more appropriate description. Story stays stagnant for some time where the characters just shared titbits about each other's life. The information that was built up around them leading to a grand reveal just felt exaggerated once the truth was revealed.

Took some time to read but a great ending along with the overall vibe of the place they talk about with the library, coffee shop etc.

The story is so so so amazing to the point you just never want it to end. And when I say I pulled an alnighter just to get to the end, know that this comes from someone who loves her sleep and it would take something really really really special and important for her to compromise on it.

The media could not be loaded.  I love it! It is in its best condition. But i really hoped that it would come with some bookmark but no it didn't. Still happy with this.✌️

“That’s what being near Charlie Lastra is like for me. There could be a ranging wildfire racing toward me from the west and I’d still be straining eastward toward his warmth”“So if you’re the ‘wrong kind of woman’, then I’m the wrong kind of man”Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️To say I loved this book would be more than an understatement.💌 Emily Henry, as always, finds a way to make a romance book turn into the most introspective experience a reader can have (or at least a reader like me can have), and while the characters navigate whatever is going on in their fictional lives, you find a corner of your very real soul that needs work and healing, and her words soothe it!I started this book with upmost excitement, the banter was everything I could ask for, the characters were believable, beautiful and full of potential, the settings were perfect… I thought this was going to be purely a fun ride 😆 and while it was fun, it was also gut wrenching and heartbreaking, and so healing ❤️‍🩹It’s hard to choose a favorite among EH’s books, but this one might be the strongest contender for me right now. The writing was beautiful, the story was so well developed, the characters lovely and real… there isn’t a single thing I would change!I had felt like I was late to the party when I started reading this book, but it turns out I picked it up exactly when I needed it! 🥰

Book LoversEmily HenryNora Stephens es la clásica mujer de negocios neoyorquina "fría, calculadora y escalofriante" que generalmente suele ser la villana en las típicas historias de romance quien convencida por su hermana viaja a un pueblo pequeño a buscar su propia aventura.Sinceramente, después de no haber podido terminar Beach Read no esperaba absolutamente nada de este libro y pues me sorprendió!Si bien no es el libro perfecto, si lo considero muy bueno, soy una persona completamente diferente a Nora y aún así me identifique por completo con ella, con su perdida, su dolor y con el peso que que conlleva ser la hermana mayor, la responsable, la fuerte, la que carga con todo y todos y hace lo posible por que estén bien dejando sus sentimientos, sueños y necesidades de lado para hacer felices a los demás.Para mi esa es la parte más fuerte del libro, Nora y su conflicto interno entre buscar su felicidad o la de su hermana.En cuanto a Charlie, el interés romántico, es un hombre bueno pero no muy interesante, no brilla mucho por si mismo 😮‍💨 si tiene muy buena química con Nora y se complementan bien el uno al otro pero no hay nada memorable en el, no hubo ningún momento en el que el personaje me hiciera sentir no se... maripositas o algo jeje!Supuestamente es un Enemies to Lovers pero la verdad yo no lo vi así, Nora y Charlie tienen un ligero choque al inicio del libro pero no los llamaría enemigos 🤔 incluso, si me pongo muy quisquillosa podría decir que el romance en este libro está en segundo plano opacado por la relación y conflictos entre Nora y su hermana Libby.Si buscas romance, Enemies to Lovers y un protagonista masculino que te haga hacer 😍🥰🤤😏 este no es el libro para ti 😅 pero igual dale la oportunidad! Es bastante divertido y sentimental si logras conectar con los personajes.

Yes! This was just the book that I needed in my life. Believe all the hype. This book is clever, witty, emotional, romantic, and a book lover’s delight. There was just so much to love about it.Nora Stephens is a literary agent who works hard for her clients. She’s career-minded, hardworking, a true lover of books, and a big fan of her younger sister Libby. Nora may have success in her professional life, but romantically, she’s been dumped too many times by men who have left her for a sweet, small-town woman, in other words, the complete opposite of Nora.When Libby convinces Nora to leave her beloved New York City and take a month-long trip with her to a small community in North Carolina, Nora agrees. She would do just about anything to make her sister happy. Libby has even made a list of things for them to do, to crack Nora out of her shell. Bring on the romance tropes!While Libby wanted Nora to meet a local and, maybe fall in love, Nora just kept running into Charlie Lastra, the ambitious, standoffish, brooding editor from New York City. Oh, they were already familiar with each other, but their previous encounters never went too smoothly or screamed of anything resembling a romantic connection.I loved, loved, loved the chemistry and banter between Nora and Charlie. It was exceptional! They were two peas in a pod when it came to ambition and their love of books, and they could spar against each other like it was their calling.This was a wonderful slow-burning romance. As someone who wants the anticipation in novels, this one gave me everything that I was looking for. It never felt rushed, the author took her time to make it just right.I loved how Emily Henry entwined popular romance tropes with her own story. This was just such a clever story.I could go on and on and continue to gush about Book Lovers, but I won’t put anyone through that. Do yourself a favor and read this novel. It was just such a well-rounded reading experience. It was filled with everything that a book lover craves.

"Maybe love shouldn't be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can't exist without them either.Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don't fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow.Compromises that say, there will be a you-shaped space in my heart, and if your shape changes, I will adaptNo matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like...like everything will be okay"I don't even know where to start with this book! but let me just say two things-1)I bow to the queen of witty and captivating contemporary romance books, I will read your grocery list, your 3yr old to-do list or a detailed recipe on how to broil Asparagus to perfection.I will read anything and everything you shall write.2)Emily Henry's books are truly soul food, they penetrate deep inside your skin and settle down in your soulALL THE STARS IN THE SKY!_________________________________Book Lovers is one of my most anticipated releases this year, after being moved by Beach Read and how PWMOV spoke to me, I thought I am ready for her new book, ehh naah I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught-she blew it out of the park once again with this charming blue book which is filled with larger than life emotions. Emily Henry has the knack to cater a book for a wide set of audience but somehow can make it personal to each and everyone of her readers, I believe everyone has something or the other within themselves that they can relate to her books with.Book Lovers felt like a witty, heartfelt love letter to life filled with hard to talk about emotions, day to day relationship struggles, familial bonds and deeply rooted anxiety that can stem out of loss and grief. There were moments I laughed so much that my insides were in stitches and then there were endearing moments that made me heart ache with joy, this once again is a very quotable book like her other books.It follows Nora, a literary agent who is a city girl through and through and holds life by it reigns trying to have everything under control. Nora's character is a personification of a strong woman who wants everything and has the capability to take it,but what lies under that brave facade goes deeper than she could ever anticipate, her life revolves around her younger sister Libby to whom she is more of a mother than a sister. Nora's fear of losing makes her overprotective at times so when Libby and Nora feel like they are drifting apart, they decide to go on a vacation to spend time together, a lot of things boils to the surface during their time in a small quaint town in North Carolina, which Nora will have to tackle head on. Nora's character will be quite relatable to people who have hard time sorting their emotions and talking about them, I absolutely adored her character growthNora and Libby's struggles and sibling rivalry is true to real life and complex because of the way they grew up and varying perspectives they have on life, I love how their relationship wasn't turned into something hurtful or ugly. It was authentic and refreshing how their characters develop and how their love for each other changes them into better people, if you have a sister yourself I dare you not to cry while you read their beautiful relationshipThe unexpected twist Nora's doesn't anticipate while going on this "trip of a lifetime" is having to see the ever charming albeit snarky Charlie Lastra, her work nemesis which later ensues a fiery banter and sizzling chemistry between these two true enemies.Nora and Charlie's banter is a chef's kiss, they have so many witty word volley's that will make you guffaw and make you forget that you are reading, my heart is so full while I read the precious moments between them.I also had to say this is probably the "spiciest" of all Emily Henry books could go on spice level with few open door scenes. Here is one of my favorite quote-"Be my shark Stephens". "Already was",I say. "Always have been"."I love you", he says again."I love you too". I don't have to force it past a knot or through the vise of a tight throat.Its simply the truth, and it breathes out of me, a wisp of smoke, a sigh, another floating blossom on a current carrying billions of them."I know",he says. "I can read you like a book".What to expect-Heartfelt belly laughs as a result of witty/hilarious writing-A story of two siblings that tugs at your heart strings-A strong woman's love letter to life in NYC- Endearing moments that will make your soul content-A beautiful love story between two characters who can be easily misunderstood- Deep discussions on big foot erotica ;)Do yourself a favor and get lost in this book!PS- That epilogue tho…TW- Anxiety, Death of a parent, grief

The book Is looking great and I’ll read soon
