A review of Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Book Lovers is a rom-com. It made me laugh and cry. The ending was beautiful, the storyline was compelling, and you are eagerly turning the page at times. The book follows Nora, her sister Libby, and book editor Charlie from New York City to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina.
*DISCLAIMER* This review does contain spoilers.
The Characters
- Libby – I liked Libby. She was funny, and witty, kept her secrets, and after a little push told her sister to back off. haha.
- Nora – I liked Nora. She knows what she wants, selfless, witty, and funny. I say “like” because at times I found her wit to be too much for me.
- Charlie – I liked him. He is mysterious, witty, selfless, and has dry humor. I times I found him too mysterious for my liking. But I love him and Nora together. Together they are adorable.
What I Enjoyed
What I enjoyed most were the reasons why Nora, Libby, and Charlie were in Sunshine Falls. Nora and Libby need a month-long getaway from New York to become closer and, after a google search of small towns, Sunshine Falls is the perfect place. Libby gave Nora a list of things to accomplish by the end of the month. However, in the end, Nora figured out the true meaning of going to Sunshine Falls and the list, and my jaw dropped. I had to re-read that section. It turns out Sunshine Falls wasn’t just a google lucky search find. I liked how Emily (the author) wrote what Nora was thinking, so when we find out the true reason for going there, we feel what Nora felt. And I loved that.
I believe Nora has three love interests.
- Her sisterly love for Libby.
- Her budding love with Charlie.
- Her love for New York City.
I loved Libby and Nora’s relationship. There were many times in the book when I laughed because they were funny. Especially Libby. I like how Emily wrote their past into the story to tell us why they were so close and why Nora loves New York City. I really like Nora and Charlie’s relationship. They stay kept trying to not like each other in the beginning. Then as they talk, and hang out with each other they begin to fall in love with one another. Their banter suited both of them. Sometimes it made me laugh. I like how their relationship tests Nora on her wants in life. Does she want to stay in New York? Or does she want to move to Sunshine Falls?
My Rating
If you like reading about small-town love stories, sisterly love, and rom-coms, you will enjoy reading this book. Overall, I rate this book an 8/10!
