Review: Books Lovers and who wouldn't love this book - And yes, “the romance gods” would be proud!!! 5 stars for a wonderful romantic story where once again the “Opposing magnets are the ones that draw together.” and make for the most interesting stories when written well. And this one certainly delivered. I confess to feeling disappointed in the first 100 pages wondering what all the fuss and hype was about. Then the book moved up several gears in just a few pages, and I found myself another one of those ‘Book Lovers’ that loved the ‘Book Lovers’. I will go as far as to say this is probably my favourite RomCom novel this year. Here are the reasons why 1. We had some serious themes without being too heavy, which gave the book depth and purpose. The themes blended perfectly with the storyline and the characters. Sister relationships, parentification, loss, grief, ambition with broken and strained relationship at the heart of the story. 2. A solid romance that builds slowly as two people get to know each other, coming from being arch-rivals. Same old troupe? It did not feel like it. The story brought the perfect blend of love, sexual tension, and the theatre without any of it overplayed or sentimental 3. The characterisation was excellent with all characters likeable but imperfect but not with the same old flawed characteristics we read about too often. They felt real and believable 4. The build-up in the story inspired a hungry turn of pages and I found myself captivated and absorbed in storyline. Nothing felt rushed not even the two lovers getting between the sheets which all added to the intrigue. A brief summary of the plot. There are many shades to Charlie, the arch nemesis of Nora. Small town boy who seeks a better life in the big city. The book starts with Charlie this once quiet, unfocused boy, precocious, and resentful boy returning as the sharp-edged man trying to fit back into his childhood home and environment. A place he never belonged to begin with. Now take Nora who returns to North Carolina with her pregnant sister Libby, who appears to be having relationship problems of her own. The relationship building between the two sisters was a bonus side line to the story that could easily have been just about Charlie and Nora. Adding more detail to the storyline would only spoil the surprise, needless to say Charlie's and Nora's paths cross, clash and unite as we see the future unravelling for true soulmates. A final thought. “The tropes, the archetypes, the common plot twists all start to organize themselves into a catalogue inside your brain, divided by category and genre”, until a story comes along like Book Lovers, that adds more meaning and depth with real themes that accompanied that all important feel good factor. Positives that compensated for the very neat and convenient ending where everything slots perfectly into place. Thoroughly enjoyable, perfectly written and highly recommended, to keep the romance God's proud!!!
Review: Cute little rom-com. - This is the first of Emily Henry's books I've read and it didn't disappoint! I loved Charlie and Nora so much, they are so perfectly matched, even though they are basically the same underneath, just looking for love and understanding in a world that seemed to be very lacking for them in that respect and they found it in each other. Charlie was such a sweetheart, nothing like the brash and cold person he let the world think he was in the beginning. And Nora wasn't a cold person either, just one who had buried her grief from losing her mother and her first relationship as deep as she could, so she could get on in life and look after her sister. Feeling those feeling would have meant her world came crashing down and she just couldn't do that, Libby was still a child and someone needed to hold it all together and get them out of trouble, and naturally that fell to Nora who somehow managed to just take it in her stride. But Charlie, he somehow found a way of showing her she could feel it and that its okay for her to just be herself cause he would be there to catch her if she fell and similarly she showed him, he wasn't the wrong person he had always felt like he was to everyone around him, like he didn't fit in or belong, she showed him he was the perfect person, for her ❤️ Throughly enjoyed and I'm looking for to reading more from this author.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-read!!
*by A***E on 18 June 2022*

I absolutely love the concept that this book about book lovers is read and enjoyed by people like my myself who love books. What could be more perfect!! Once I got passed the first few chapters there was nothing I didn’t love about this story. As soon as Nora and Libby went on their travels, I found myself hooked and not wanting to put my kindle down. The characters, the settings, the storyline and all the different emotions that this story brought out in me are fabulous. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already messaged some friends to grab this book and read it for themselves. To me, I felt that this book followed two separate but interconnecting storylines. The first being the relationship between Nora and her sister Libby. The other being Nora’s role in the literary world which also relates to Charlie. Both I absolutely loved. In many ways I envy the relationship that Nora and Libby share. Although they have experienced much heartache together, I loved how they are there for each other through the good times and the bad. Nora tries her very best to be everything to Libby. However, even with the best of intentions mistakes are made and there are errors of judgement, so for me the message about honesty and communication throughout this story was loud and clear. I adore their friendship. They made me laugh out loud so many times throughout this narrative, and they made me cry once or twice too. Nora and Charlie’s interactions are a highlight of this story. I laughed, smiled and swooned constantly throughout this narrative. They truly are perfect for each other. I loved how easily they trusted and fell in love with each other. Their scenes together are incredible, and I’m certain you will feel the same way too. I highly recommend Book Lovers to you to read. This story is filled with banter, humour and fun scenes - which I loved. There are also some more serious aspects to this story that I found to be emotional and thought-provoking. I award Book Lovers 5 stars. I can’t sing this story’s praises enough.
