Description
An insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Funny Story.
“One of my favorite authors.”—Colleen Hoover
One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...
Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.
Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, 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.
If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.
Reviews
Not the best, not the worst
3By LLDillon12198The enemies to lovers trope can be so fun but something about this wasn’t involved enough. There just wasn’t enough banter. Too much focus on the secondary characters and the interactions lost momentum. I just wasn’t excited to find out how it ended and almost didn’t even finish reading it. Kinda boring. Skimmed a lot to get to the point.Truly for book lovers
5By Emma@NCLoved this beautifully descriptive book. I felt like I knew the characters and could imagine that I was literally with them. I laughed and cried. Sorry to see the end.Simply Wonderful
5By BozBearAn engaging delight!Very Well Written

5By CKRinBCOJust what I needed for a witty light rom com. I know 5 stars but it was fun!Book Lovers
2By Casdan227Very shallow book💐
4By WardhaaaaA little predictable but loved her writing style, felt that the story was abit stretched, I loved the last chapters even better! Good read regardless.Loved it
5By dianareadsLoved the characters and loved the book!Definitely not for me
2By dominolouisAdmittedly I do not generally read romance novels, but this book confirmed I should continue to avoid them. In addition I found the dialogue and the thoughts of the characters impenetrable. I am sure there are good romance novels out there but don’t consider this to be one of them.I just adored this!
5By CBreezy717I don’t normally do feel good romances and I couldn’t put this down. I loved every single bit of it.Liked it
5By CessofVery nice book, I really liked it. First book that makes me cry Nice love storyGood read
4By Short atThis is the first book I’ve read from this author. I like her writing style but someone needs to tell her to fix the editing of this book. The texts messages are not differentiated from the talking dialogue so I am not sure who says what and is it text or person to person. This is really annoying! The story was a bit long and Nora and Libby are such a basket case (more neurotic) 10 years after the Mom passes. I think I like Charlie the best, at least his personal baggage didn’t paralyze him like Nora. I will try another book from this author but if the texting dialogue isn’t better defined from personal conversations then I will not be buying anything else from her.Charming
5By CPL2006I’m not typically a fan of this genre, but I found this book to be charming and well-written. I’m glad I discovered it. Brava!favorite book ever
5By bhavyav10i wish i could rate this more than five starsLoved this!
5By liberteabelleI guess I’m a new Emily fan - this is the third of her books I’ve read in 1 week! Shame on you, Emily, I really should have had more sleep, and I totally blame you 😁!Emily Henry Does It Again
5By Mymom1226684348Read Book Lovers after completing Happy Place and People We Meet On Vacation - needless to say, I have fallen in love with Emily Henry! Each book is just as good as the last, this one included. Such a beautiful story of selfless sisters who overcome tragedy and both get their happy ending! Easy read, little spice, and a whole lotta love. I would recommend anything Emily Henry!Enjoyed it! Needed more.
4By TK - Blk Girls ReadLiked it. Really enjoyed reading a romance novel from the perspective of the girl who gets dumped. It ended too abrupt. Did a good job with character development but I could’ve used a few trips to New York or maybe even the PowerPoint scene lol‘Book Lovers’ will love this one.
5By alouwri001I absolutely adored this book. Such a good read. It’s a perfect dynamic between Charlie and Nora. Definitely recommend it. 10/10Easy read
4By MelblevsI love Emily. I think her writing is very easy to read. I loved every character in this book. They were thoughtfully written. At times I thought the book was too easy going. Not boring… just too relaxed. I’d recommend to a friend. Happy Place is still my favorite of the two I’ve read so far.
