I caved and read Book Lovers!! I'm not a big Emily Henry fan honestly, but this one is def her best that I've read. Sometimes the humor is a little too cringe for me, but Nora and Charlie had good banter that was often cringe but became kind of cute once I got used to it. Can't get behind Libby calling her sister "Sissy" because no one with a sister has ever called their sister that past the age of 5 but the story holds up despite this glaring detail. I think this book worked for me because the love interest thing goes on consistently throughout the book--they don't deny themselves as is very common in romance novels, and I thought that was interesting and unique. Nora is a pretty solid character and a really quality portrait of an eldest daughter. Overall, this book was better than I expected (but I do still think there are better romances out there)
