For Charlie, he is forfeiting his happiness to care for his parents and their business. In the case of Nora, the story focuses on her relationship with her younger sister, with a little mystery at its heart. Book Reviewīook Lovers is an enemy-to-lovers romance novel about a literary agent, Nora, and an editor, Charlie, whose worlds collide in the unlikely place of Sunshine Falls, North Carolina after Nora’s sister forces her to take a vacation.Īlong with being a romance, Book Lovers explores the responsibility we often feel for family. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again-in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow-what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away-with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. Nora Stephens’ life is books-she’s read them all-and she is not that type of heroine.

A by-the-book literary agent must decide if happily ever after is worth changing her whole life for in this insightful, delightful novel.
