The only people Nora Stephens is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to North Carolina when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip away - with visions of a 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 doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a brooding editor from back in the city. As they are thrown together what they discover might just unrav...

Schitt's Creek for book nerds Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop
[Book Lovers] is multilayered and the characters' familial challenges are complex. By both playing to and overtly subverting romance tropes and archetypes like the high-powered big city woman who neglects her family and the life-affirming power of small-town life, this novel delivers an insightful comedic meditation on love, family and going your own way."

Book Lovers is a rom-com lover's dream of a book. It is razor-sharp and modern, featuring a fierce heroine who does not apologize for her ambition and heartfelt discussions of grief. Readers know that Emily Henry never fails to deliver great banter and a romance to swoon over but this may just be her best yet. A breath of fresh air.

"Charming, earnest, and clever, Book Lovers is Schitt's Creek for book nerds. A total delight for anyone who's ever secretly rooted for the career girl in a Hallmark movie. Nobody does it quite like Emily Henry.
Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop
"You KNOW I love a book and a writer when I bust out my trusty ballpoint and absolutely maul the pages...and that's exactly what I just did to the divine Emily Henry. I could not devour Book Lovers fast enough. Emily Henry is pure delight. I m utterly enchanted by her wry, self-aware sense of humor, the relish that she brings to every cleverly crafted sentence, and her irrepressible love for love.

When I read an Emily Henry novel I always feel a particularly undignified kind of jealousy, because I wish I'd written it. Book Lovers is no different: I loved every page, every line. It's so smart, so funny and so sexy. Nora and Charlie have sizzling chemistry they even make discussing a contract hot. Readers are going to fall head over heels for these two.

Das Cover und auch der Titel passen perfekt zur Story. Nora Stephens (Literaturagentin) verreist mit ihrer Schwester Libby (schwanger mit Kind 3) in die idyllische Kleinstadt Sunshine Falls. Dieser ist Schauplatz von Libbys Lieblingsromanen. Für Nora der erste Urlaub seit 10 Jahren. Ihre Schwester erstellt schon mal eine "Bucket-List". Sie liebt Checklisten. Aber sie verbirgt such ein großes Geheimnis. Ausgerechnet dort trifft Nora den arroganten Lektor Charlie Lastra und ausgerechnet seinen Eltern gehört das Cottage, in denen sie wohnen. Es beginnt ein spannender Schlagabtausch... Das Buch war sehr unterhaltsam. Im Vordergrund ist hier eher die Geschwisterliebe zwischen Nora und Libby statt einer Liebesgeschichte. Der Schreibstil ist flüssig und es war sehr angenehm zu lesen.

Nora Stephens, in the book industry also known as “shark”, is a successful New York agent whose life is dedicated to her job. Accordingly, relationships have not been that successful so far, but that’s ok for her. When her sister Libby asks her for a four-week stay in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, the place where one of her best-selling books is located, Nora is reluctant, she cannot stay away from work so long; yet, Libby is pregnant and Nora does not want to refuse her sister’s greatest wish, she is the only family she has. Nora knows all the stories about New Yorkers coming to small towns and falling in love, she has read them all, even published some of them, therefore, she can only ironically comment the fact that on her first day, she runs into Charlie Lastra – her biggest nemesis.
Admittedly, I am not really a fan of rom-coms, no matter if they come in form of books or movies. However, I really enjoyed Emily Henry’s “Beach Read” and as there was so much talk about “Book Lovers”, I was looking forward to reading it. Of course, the bestselling author did not disappoint, quite the contrary, I thoroughly enjoyed how she does not take the genre too seriously but lets her characters comment on it mockingly again and again throughout the novel.
“We know how this ends.”
Libby squeezes my arm. “You don’t know. You can’t until you try.”
“This isn’t a movie, Libby,” I say.
You do not need to find the typical tropes, Nora will find them for you and Emily Henry does not leave out a single one: the big city girl who looks down in small town life, the sister who mysteriously vanishes during daytime and does not tell what is doing or where she is going, the incidental meeting with the one man she does not want to see far away from home, the charming bookshop, cringeworthy small town activities, another attractive man – who does not like the first, of course – you name it. Even though there are no big surprises, I totally enjoyed diving into the story and seeing all the clichés unfold.
As a book lover, it was easy to fall for this one, a lot of references and hints to the industry offer the perfect setting for the two protagonists to fight their feelings which, needless to say, they cannot admit at first. Another perfect summer read by Emily Henry.

Ich habe mich sehr auf das Buch gefreut, weil mir die Leseporbe bereits sehr gut gefallen hat.
Als das Buch ankam musste ich dann auch direkt mit dem Lesen beginnen.
In dem Buch geht es um Nora, eine Literaturagentin, welche für Ihre Schwester nahezu alles tun würde, sowie um den sehr kritisch und mürrisch wirkenden Lektor Charlie. Bereits im Prolog lernen wir die beiden kennen. Nora ist eine schlagfertige Protagonisten. Diese Eigenschaft kann auch Charlie nicht von sich weisen. Unsere Protagonisten sind sich so faszinierend ähnlich und doch sind sie es irgendwie auch wieder nicht.
Den Prolog mochte ich sehr gerne. Leider viel es mir, nach dem Prolog, schwer, in die ersten Kapitel rein zu kommen. Woran das lag, kann ich leider nicht genau benennen.
Nach dem 3. Kapitel war ich dann aber voll in der Geschichte drin und sie fing an mich mehr und mehr zu fesseln.
Der Schreibstil der Autorin ist sehr flüssig und lässt sich gut lesen.
Auch die Protagonisten finde ich schön geschrieben. Sie entsprechen nicht unbedingt der Norm und scheinen irgenwie ein bisschen zu viel zu sein. So ist Nora zum Beispiel zu ehrgeizig, zu sehr darauf aus alles für ihre Schwester zu tun.
Charlie ist zu anders, passt zu wenig zu der verträumten Statd. Aber füreinander sind die Beiden perfekt und das merken die beiden auch, nach ein paar auseinandersetzungen.
Das Buch war herzzerreißend.
