It’s been years and I can still barely tell myself that story. Really, it’s four, but I never could bring myself to tell her the whole story about Jakob. “ How does a person get dumped in a full lifestyle-swap three times?” Meanwhile, even five months pregnant and despite the temperature, Libby looks like the star of a shampoo commercial. Sunlight glances off buildings like a laser-based security system in an out-of-date heist movie, and I feel like a glazed donut that’s been left out in the heat for four days. The families we pass carry ice pops that shrink with every step, melting down their fingers. 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.īook Lovers By Emily Henry Introduction Excerpt.
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.
Book Lovers An insightful, delightful new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation.
