I think I had very high expectations for this book and, while it was good and I enjoyed reading it, it didn't quite met them.
In Nora's honour, I will make a pros and cons list.
The pros:
• Good character development
• Good chemistry between the main characters
• A strong and flawed female main character
• Charlie.
• Underlining and pinterest-worthy passages (I may or may not have shed a tear with one or two)

The cons:
• At first, it felt a little like Libby's whole personality was built around her being pregnant; this got better as the book developed, but I was still not a huge fan of her character
• A little predictable, this coming from a person that mainly reads romance 
• I don't know, it missed a "wow" factor, I guess.

I loved this book! It was a beautiful story that gradually peeled back the layers of its characters through adventure, honesty, grief, loss, and eventually, love. Refreshingly different from People We Meet on Vacation, with it's witty and thick-skinned characters. However, whereas PWMOV felt more like a whirring, exciting, adventure that took me away from my daily worries, Book Lovers gets real, and talks about trauma and grief. I love that in a story, it's what makes us human, but you might want to read through content warnings before picking up this book. Overall, really enjoyed this read, and really loved the characters!

This book was the perfect palette cleanser after many horror novels. It was lighthearted, but still down to earth. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, easy summer read.
