What I'm Reading || Book Lovers - Southern State of Mind Blog by Heather

You can find me most mornings out walking our dog Piper. It’s our daily routine and we love getting our exercise together! Part of our route is to pass the neighborhood Little Free Library and of course I can’t help but scan it most days to see what’s new. So when I spotted Book Lovers by Emily Henry- I snagged it right up! You just never know when you are going to be in the mood for a Rom-Com. Book Lovers made me laugh out loud with it’s witty banter, and I found the characters careers interesting- a book agent and a book editor. The setting, character and plot checked all of the boxes for me for romantic comedy! I read this while schlepping the crew to baseball practices and it was a great light summer read.

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.
