I read this book and then listened to the audio version a year later. Julia Whelan makes this book even more fabulous than the paper version. The growth that Nora has in the book is astounding and makes me feel joy she is getting the help she needs to resolve the issues from her childhood. But this book is all about relationships. Nora's relationships with her sister, her mother, the city she loves, Charlie, her nieces, and even her brother-in-law are woven together and just so solid. I laughed, I cried, I smiled. This book will make you feel all the feels.

Queen Emily Henry has done it again….I was hooked within the first few pages, and absolutely devoured this book. Book Lovers had me smiling, laughing, emotional, contemplating, just all of the things. These books are so relatable, funny, heartwarming, reflective of the human experience - Emily Henry is just magic. Charlie may also now be my #1 Emily Henry love interest (sorry Gus)

I have heard about how good Emily Henry books are for a while from multiple sources, but figured her books would be on par with other romance novels. But I have to say I was really impressed! I spent my entire day reading this book from start to finish and don’t regret it! The best written romance I’ve read in a long time!!

The ending was a little too long. The book should have been about 1 hour of audio shorter. I was ready for it to be over. 

I enjoyed a lot of it but the conclusion was drawn out. I enjoyed the sisters dynamic. Charlie wasnt the most interesting love interest. He was most interesting at the very start of the book during the work meeting and when Nora was trolling him. 

I enjoyed the setting.
