“Book Lovers”

By Emily Henry

Nora Stephens, aka the Shark, is the most dedicated and cut-throat literary agent any writer can have. Do you need a pep talk to write the next 50 pages of your novel? Or do you need someone to tell you that you aren’t a horrible writer that should retire at the ripe old age of 25? Whatever you ask of her, she will do it. However, attending to her clients all of the time has resulted in her having nothing fulfilling for herself. When her sister begs her to get away by vacationing in small town America, Nora sees the writing on the wall. Her sister wants her to forget New York City and fall in love with a small town, marry a pig farmer and have children. But that is the last thing Nora wants to do. She is not the type of girl that loves rom-coms or dreams of a happily ever after. She is a realist and realists don’t believe in dreams. At least until you’re stuck working with your arch nemesis who might just prove everything you thought wrong.

This new book by Emily Henry is the perfect summer read. The book is the perfect blend of comedy, romance and seriousness. Nora’s struggle to see any beauty after tragedy is a struggle that many people face. This realistic element makes the book relatable despite being fiction. You can find this book at the library and on the Libby app.
