Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this arc.
Emily Henry! How many good things can you say about an author? I LOVE that this book talks about books. Nora is my spirit animal! I would give this book 10 stars if I could!

I am a lover of Emily Henry's books. Unapologetically. Tell me another rom-com writer currently who has a better grasp on dialogue. I'll wait. (I also adore her YA magical realism stories. Don't sleep on those!)

So, when I saw that she had a book that was also a love story to books, I knew I'd love it. More than a love story, it's also a book about the love between sisters.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

Emily Henry has a season pass for me. She has demonstrated her talent again and again and this might be my favorite of hers yet!

This is my favorite Emily Henry book by far! Book Lovers felt like a book dedicated solely to book lovers alike and I couldn’t get enough of it! There’s a reason this book took bookstagram by storm. It’s full of romance, witty banter & sisterly love. It was really refreshing to see a sister relationship (that’s not perfect!) in a book and to shine a light on stilted family dynamics. I enjoyed Nora and Libby’s jaunt to a small town in North Carolina and it felt a little bit out of a Hallmark movie! I loved the “bucket list” tie in with the other main character, Charlie, and the banter he and Nora had as they began chatting more as their paths crossed. The cast of characters in this book is so strong and I adored each and every one of them. I certainly wasn’t ready for this one to end, but loved how it wrapped up. Just read it 🤩

“Is there anything better than iced coffee and a bookstore on a sunny day? I mean, aside from hot coffee and a bookstore on a rainy day.” ― Emily Henry, Book Lovers If you love books, reading, bookstores, coffee, tea, cute towns, and romance this book will make you happy

Loved the premise, characters, and read through this one quickly. Definitely lives up to Henry's previous books.

I absolutely loved this book. It made me laugh, cry, and then laugh and cry simultaneously. I loved the banter so much. The only complaint I have is that Libby called Nora “sissy” about 100x too many (like so much I’d consider taking off 1/2 a star because it was so irksome), but still such a sweet, funny, and lovely read!

This book is just classic Emily Henry! I'm not sure it's my favorite out of all of her titles (I don't think anyone can beat Gus in Beach Read) but it was still super enjoyable and entertaining. I love a good enemies to lovers trope and this one delivers :)

Emily Henry is a must read for me- her level of romance is spot on for my taste. The chemistry between her characters is always well done- making the reader invested throughout. People We Meet on Vacation is still my favorite of Henry's but this is a solid book that I would recommend to romance readers.

Loved this so much! While I've loved all of Henry's books, this is definitely my favorite so far. I loved the smart take on the classic "boss" woman trope in romances, as well as the small town romance. A classic.

Emily Henry has established herself as an autobuy author for me, but I have to say that this is not my favorite of her releases in the adult romance genre so far.

This is my favorite of Emily Henry’s books to date. I though that the title matched the content, finally! It was a great beach read with a little more substance. It made me excited for our trip to NYC and ready to go back to visit the Asheville area again soon!

Another hit by Emily Henry. How could I not read a book with the title Book Lovers and at a time I am gravitating to Romances.

I enjoyed this more than I did Ms Henry’s People you Meet on Vacation. Book Lovers had the required banter and romance while including an ambitious career woman and loving family member …. And a bookstore!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy.

This is the best romance story I’ve recently read! The smartest enemies to lovers trope I’ve ever devoured. Emily Henry is an incredible talent and this book proves that she’s brilliant at writing nuanced protagonists with stunning romantic chemistry. Nora and Charlie were just pitch perfect together. I can’t wait to reread this again. It’s reread-worthy.

Such a great read. The characters were all amazing and Nora and Charlie were so cute together. Filled with super fun banter and plenty of slow burn sexy time.

this was phenomenal--I cannot say enough about how much I loved this book. small town boy, city girl, and just sooo much emotion. ily Emily Henry <3

So this was just another Emily Henry book. Nothing spectacular but a fun read nonetheless. I'll read her next one.

Emily Henry does it again! Heartwarming, funny and unexpected. Would recommend and absolutely read again.

I've been slow to jump on to the Emily Henry bandwagon, but now that I'm on it, I'm never getting off! Her books are so fun and well written and frankly, Book Lovers was just the contemporary romance that I was looking to read right now.

I liked both of the main characters right away. Nora is a literary agent in NYC. She's a little controlling but as you learn her backstory, she has good reason for being so. Although she's very dedicated to her career, she's not a robot. Her younger sister means everything to her and she would do anything to protect her and keep her safe, even though she's married now and the mother of (almost) three children.

Meanwhile, Charlie also works in the NYC book scene as an editor. He's just as dedicated to his job as Nora is to hers, but he's got a quick wit and a salty tongue. Some of his comments during the scene where he and Nora first meet are so funny. I could tell that even though he and Nora both had different ideas about books and writing, they also had a lot in common as well.

Book Lovers is filled with a lot of fun surprises as the story progresses. I loved reading about the sister relationship between Nora and her younger sister Libby. They grew up incredibly close because of their Mom being busy working and because they know each other so well, some of the dialogue between them was just hilarious. I was like, yup... only siblings can speak that way to each other.

If you liked Beach Read or People We Meet on Vacation, I think you will really like this book as well. It's another fun dive into the world of Emily Henry books and honestly, it might be my favorite of hers so far. I just love a good enemies to lovers book, and Book Lovers did a great job at that.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry was amazing. I loved loved loved this book. I will be adding it our Book Club List for the bookstore. GREAT BOOK!!!
