Nora Stephen life is books - she read them all - and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laid-back dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. 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. 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.
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. It would be a meet-cute, if not for the fact that they've met many times and it's never been cute. 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.
A perfect summer book
Emily Henry is my new hero. She writes romance novels with characters that actually feel real: they have thoughts like you and I, they react in stupid ways, like any human, and they are so likeable!
In this one, Nora loves to read romance books, but she is absolutely confident she herslef will never have a relationship like that. She instead focuses on work, and on her sister, and mending sisterly bonds is far more important than annoying (and good looking) Charlie, whom she has *so much* in common with!
