Book Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Book Lovers Book Lovers by Emily Henry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A page-turner romance set in the publishing industry.  Nora Stephens, a NYC book agent, is convinced by her sister to spend a month of her summer vacation in a rural North Carolina town.  Almost immediately she runs into a NYC book editor, with whom she has not has not gotten along with in the past.  You can predict what happens next.  The relationship with the two sisters very special and makes the book worth reading.  You'll laugh, you'll cry, you will turn the pages quickly to reach the end.  Of course, since it was dealing with the book industry, it had my name written all over it.  I loved every minute of it!

Update from May 2025 - I re-read this book for book club and elevated it to 5 stars.  Once I loved the bookish themes throughout, especially how she incorporates real-life authors and NYC bookstores!  And the things that can happen in the study room of a public library!
