Book Lovers

Emily Henry still takes the prize for being my favorite romance writer even though I wasn't vibing with this one as much as People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read.

Book enthusiasts Nora and Charlie cross paths (repeatedly) while Nora is on a vacation with her sister in North Carolina. He is hardly part of her small-town bucket list. Nevertheless, a lot of her trip is spent with him as they edit a manuscript together as well as keeping Charlie's parents' bookstore afloat.

There are a lot of fun literary references in this old and new. I also enjoyed Libby and Nora's relationship and was my favorite part of the book. As for Charlie and Nora, I liked them together, but I really struggled to get super into the story. The writing felt a bit sappier this time around and it's just not my thing. It's something I would have enjoyed more in the summertime when I'm typically in the mood for a lighthearted read. I may try it again in a few months.
