“One of my favorite authors.”—Colleen HooverAn insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Oprah Daily ∙ Today ∙ Parade ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Bustle ∙ PopSugar ∙ Katie Couric Media ∙ Book Bub ∙ SheReads ∙ Medium ∙ The Washington Post ∙ and more!One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming... Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback 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.

"4.5⭐
This was such a great book! The romance was really sweet and I truly enjoyed getting to see a FMC who was so strong and independent. I loved the dynamic between Nora and Libby, as an older sister it really hit home for me. Not your typical romcom, but a great read nonetheless! "

"Wow! This was my first Emily Henry read and now I'm pretty sure I'll be reading more of her works. I thought this story was going to be like any other typical romance love story. But I was proven wrong multiple times and I loved it so much. These characters and their big developments were written so well. The sister dynamic is actually pretty similar to my own sister dynamic, which felt like I related to the characters more and enjoyed it. I love the fact that this story was also about "books", I actually don't think I've read a book that has a character or characters be involved in books, you know? I'll have to think about that...Anyways, this was a really great read, it made me smile and giggle right from the start, it made me feel angry, embarrassed at certain moments and it made me feel the love everyone had for each other. But also those twists, I did not see coming, I was too caught in their story which I guess was smart and well played on Emily Henry's part. Highly recommend!"

"Everyone seems to love this book but I just didn’t connect with it. It was just okay for me. I didn’t care about the characters or the plot. Nobody made a great impression on me. The story just seemed to go on and towards the end I found myself feeling like the best love storyline was the one between sisters Nora and Libby. Unfortunately, I found myself drifting and thinking of other things as I read this. I just didn’t care about anything. I still like Emily Henry and will continue to read her books. This one just wasn’t for me."

"The third book by Emily Henry and a good one. I love sharp humor and unlikely (or super likely?) romantic pairings. Anyway, turn a Hallmark movie upside down and sideways and you’ll end up with this story with LOL moments. "
