Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Wow.
This is the second Emily Henry book I've read, it was suggested to me after I read and adored Beach Read. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to how much I liked Beach Read but it absolutely knocked it out of the park. If Beach Read was a 5, then this was a 6. I am blown away.
I loved the town of Sunshine Falls, and the dynamics of the relationships between everyone in town. I found myself falling in love with Sunshine Falls and Charlie alongside Nora, and so many times saw myself reacting to things the same way she does in the story. Her mindset is very similar to my own and I feel like she has become one of the most relatable characters I've ever read.
Shockingly I didn't manage to predict every plot twist, and was taken aback by a few of them whilst reading. Though the ending was pretty predictable and I'd been waiting for that pin to drop whilst reading the last few chapters.
I really love Emily Henry's writing and she's now a must-read author for me. If only Happy Place would be available as a paperback sooner so I can have it in my collection and the same size as the others.
My sister told me it gave her Gilmore Girls vibes, and I totally see it and I think they are almost spot on for an older Rory and Jess (though Nora is much more likable than Rory).
Charlie/Jess - comes off broody, loves books, black sheep in a small town, complicated relationship with father figure.
Nora/Rory - loves books, dates horrible men (exception Jess/Charlie), anxious, overthinker.
