Emily Henry’s Book Lovers flips the small-town romance on its head. Nora Stephens, a sharp, career-driven literary agent, keeps colliding with prickly editor Charlie Lastra during a sisters’ trip to a tiny town — and the two book-world rivals are far more alike than either wants to admit.

Book Lovers follows Nora Stephens, a fiercely ambitious literary agent, who reluctantly heads to the small town of Sunshine Falls for a getaway with her sister, Libby. There, she repeatedly runs into Charlie Lastra, a hard-edged book editor she’s clashed with before.
Instead of a charming local love interest, Nora finds her perfect, thorny match in Charlie. Smart and self-aware about its genre, the novel is a witty, tender romance about sisterhood, ambition, and being truly seen — even the parts of yourself you tend to hide.
