Perfect rom-com! No infuriating tropes (I'm looking at you, miscommunication). Book Lover is a gentle story of two people with complementary careers and similar lifestyles falling in love, and two adult sisters working through grief and finding new ground for their relationship. It's almost a coming-of-age story for a woman who is afraid of self-discovery, but the options in front of her demand that she know herself well enough to accept the happiness, contentment, and lasting love being offered.

Loved Nora, she was very relatable in terms of personality and as the oldest sibling. Enjoyed getting to know Charlie and appreciated the sibling dynamics (did not like Libby constantly calling Nora sissy).

'You've never needed me--'
'Of course I don't!' I've worked hard to build a life that's my own, that no one else could pull a plug on to send me swirling down a cosmic drain.
This book was so cute and so inspiring. One of my favorites so far this year!

Mentions of death include descriptions of grief and funerals. Three short PG-13 level scenes of sexual content throughout the middle section of the book.
