By Emily Henry

Book Overview

An insightful, delightful new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. 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. "Emily Henry never fails to deliver ... this may just be her best yet." --Taylor Jenkins Reid

Customer Reviews

Cute, fun romance

This is my very first Emily Henry book! And, honestly, I can kind of see what the hype is all about with Emily Henry's books. Her characters feel real because they have real struggles. Each character is unique and well thought out. I loved the relationship between Charlie and Nora. Charlie took care of Nora and was her rock which is literally so sweet. Nora loves being in control and making sure everyone else is okay, but with Charlie she can relax and finally focus on herself. The character growth was spectacular; I was rooting for Nora the whole time.

Hallmark movie!

If you like witty banter and Hallmark movies, add this book to your TBR list!

Cutest Book EVER

If you like Hallmark movies, this book is for you. It’s such a cute story and predictable like a Hallmark movie. It has a happy ending which I love. It was a little slow in the beginning. There’s a little spice to it, but it’s pretty pg-13

A captivating summer romance

This was just fun. If you’re looking for a summer paperback that you’ll just pour through like a glass of lemonade, this is it.
