Book Lovers, by Emily Henry
5.0
nora and charlie. charlie and nora.
emily henry hits once again in the romcom genre and perfect summer read areas.
book lovers was everything and more than i expected, and was so, so beautiful. emily henry’s ability to explicitly describe minute details and scenarios is my favourite thing ever, re: “the sun’s melting into the horizon like peach ice cream, and the smell of roses drifts over the breeze. a few yards over, a half dozen kids run, shrieking and laughing, through a sprinkler” (324). idk about u but this brought back all of my childhood summer memories.
emily henry also hit me right in the feels with her words: “that’s life. you’re always making decisions, taking paths that lead you away from the rest before you can see where they end. maybe that’s why we as a species love stories so much. all those chances for do-overs, opportunities to live the lives we’ll never have” (354).
and she wrote yet again, another amazingly adorable couple that are both so similar and yet different, that they fit so perfectly well together in the city of new york, where both of their hearts truly belong.
“Of course I love you, Nora. If I loved you any less, I’d be trying to convince you that you could be happy here. You have no idea how badly I wish I could be enough.”
“If anyone could be enough, I think it might be you.”
Catch me sulking on my couch for the next year or so until Emily publishes another banger of a relatable book.
