Emily Henry’s best Rom-com yet!!!
Such a fun, cosy romance read. Emily Henry has written a perfect romance novel with a mixture of grief, humour and inspiration.

Synopsis
One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...
Nora is a cut-throat literary agent at the top of her game. Her whole life is books. Charlie is an editor with a gift for creating bestsellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.
Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the woman men date before they find their happy-ever-after. That's why Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her desk in the city for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. It's a small town straight out of a romance novel, but instead of meeting sexy lumberjacks, handsome doctors or cute bartenders, Nora keeps bumping into... Charlie.
She's no heroine. He's no hero. So can they take a page out of an entirely different book?
Set over one sizzling August, Book Lovers is the new chemistry-filled 'rivals to lovers' romcom from New York Times #1 bestseller Emily Henry.
