Book Lovers is a sharp, witty, self-aware rom-com written for readers who actually love reading. Emily Henry takes the classic romance tropes—big-city workaholic, small-town charm, enemies-to-lovers—and flips them with intelligence and bite.
Nora Stephens is a ruthless literary agent who lives for deadlines, deals, and ambition. She’s not the “small-town girl who softens the broody hero”—she’s the one guys usually leave behind in every cliché romance novel. On a forced vacation with her sister, Nora unexpectedly runs into Charlie Lastra, a grumpy editor she already clashed with in New York.
They’re complete opposites, competitive, and absolutely not the type to fall for each other… until they are. As professional tension turns into real chemistry, Nora faces the one plot twist she never saw coming: choosing between the life she built and the one she never imagined wanting.
Smart, funny, heartfelt, and deeply book-nerdy, this is one of Emily Henry’s most beloved romances—perfect for readers who want banter, depth, and characters who actually feel real.
