When books are your life—or in my case, your job - you get pretty good at guessing where a story is going. The tropes, thearchetypes, the common plot twists all start to organize themselves into a catalogue inside your brain, divided by category and genre.
The husband is the killer.
The nerd gets a makeover, and without her glasses, she’s smoking hot.
The guy gets the girl—or the other girl does.
Someone explains a complicated scientific concept, and someone else
says, “Um, in English, please?”
The details may change from book to book, but there’s nothing truly new under the sun.
Take, for example, the small-town love story.
The kind where a cynical hotshot from New York or Los Angeles gets shipped off to Smalltown, USA—to, like, run a family- owned Christmas tree farm out of business to make room for a soulless corporation.
But while said City Person is in town, things don’t go to plan. Because, of course, the Christmas tree farm—or bakery, or whatever the hero’s been sent to destroy—is owned and operated by someone ridiculously attractive and suitably available for wooing.
Back in the city, the lead has a romantic partner. Someone ruthless who encourages him to do what he’s set out to do and ruin some lives in exchange for that big promotion. He fields calls from her, during which she interrupts him, barking heartless advice from the seat of her Peloton bike.

I binge read this one in one day. I absolutely loved it so much. Nora was so relatable, the story was beautiful, and it wrapped up so well!
I have yet to read it, but I've only heard good things about it! SUPER. Excited.
I just finished it, I haven't binged read in awhile and this book was perfect! I cried a few times at some sad-ish parts, but over all this book is a perfect summer read!
i was about to start this book today and saw that today’s botm was book lovers!!! SO EXCITED TO READ WITH EVERYONE
ive just finished this now and ohmygosh idk what to do with all these emotions😭
here's my review :)
Book Lovers by Emily HenryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I stared reading this book thinking it would be too overhyped and I would just get bored/not get into it, but i was really wrong. I loved this book from the prologue and the whole way through I thought the characters were really well written and easy to relate to.
Can I just say I. Need. A. Charlie. Lastra. In. My. Life
There are two reasons why this book isn't 5☆
1 ~ the whole storyline with Shepherd was really unnecessary because nothing even happened between him and Nora and I felt like he was just always in the way for no reason and he didn't even have much personality
2 ~ for an 'enemies to lovers' book, they seemed to get over their enemy phase awfully quickly¡
Overall, a nice lighthearted easy summer enemies to lovers read!!
View all my reviews
I’m probably going to start this 1 soon
personally, i didn't really like it. it was just hard for me to like the characters. idk ive read worse
