Book Lovers by Emily Henry (2022, 377 pages)
Wealthy Nora and her sister
Libby are best friends living in New York City. Nora works as a
literary agent whose best client, Dusty, wrote a popular book series in
the quaint setting of Sunshine Falls, NC. With a third baby on the way,
and Nora’s job in a seasonal slump, they decide to take a vacation. With
a check list of local clichés (save a local business, date a local, go
skinny dipping, etc).
While grabbing breakfast at a local café, she
spies her professional nemesis. Can they both survive this small town
for a month, AND work on Dusty’s new book?
SPOILERS AHEAD -- HIGHLIGHT TEXT TO READ
Libby
surprises Nora by buying a house in Sunshine Falls and moving the whole
family at the end. Then has a breakdown when Nora doesn’t want to move
with her… but if she felt so strongly and they tell each other
everything, why keep it secret?? Libby faints from anemia in the middle
of an argument; they made clear August is Nora’s slow season but she’s
constantly bombarded with work calls; and the two main characters of the
romance only know each other for a week before he OFFER HER HIS
APARTMENT. TO KEEP. It added SO much drama at the every end like her
other books. It was unnecessary and by the end I didn’t even want to
read it anymore because it strayed so much from the original story. The
first three quarters is 4 stars though!
⭐⭐⭐
