Author Emily Henry returns with a new romance novel this summer. Book Lovers tells the story of Nora Stephens, a bibliophile who’s probably read about all kinds of heroines. She knows for a fact that she isn’t one. Looking for a breath of fresh air, she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls in North Carolina for a month together with her sister, Libby.

Over there, Nora can’t help but bump bookish yet brooding editor Charlie Lastra. It would’ve been romantic or fate—except none of the encounters have been pleasant. But as the coincidences keep piling up, they start to grow fond of each other, especially of their shared love of books.
