Book Lovers | WWS Book Club Pick For May

Our WWS Book Club pick for May is Book Lovers by Emily Henry!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you may remember my review of Beach Read by Emily Henry from last year. It was hands down my favourite book of 2021, so I’m SO excited to read Book Lovers this month! It was just released two days ago, and has a ton of amazing reviews from people who got an advanced copy. I’m still using Audible regularly because I can’t always find the time to sit down with a book, so I chose this as my May book on Audible.

Plot

“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.”

As always, I’ll post my review at the end of the month! Have you read Book Lovers? Are you reading it this month? Let me know in the comments!
