Description

An insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Funny Story.

“One of my favorite authors.”—Colleen Hoover

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute.

If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

This book was hard to read. There were cute moments, but I found myself skipping over the extra stuff and only reading the dialogue.
It’s good but…..soooo repetitive

This book should be a 4-5 star, but by golly if I have to hear Nora “I have to protect her” one more time about her GROWN, HAPPILY MARRIED sister, I may gag. I mean we GET IT. Nora has baggage, but boy do they repeat it over and over and over and over again. Loved Charlie and loved Nora when she wasn’t going on and on about the same thing. Like girl, WE GET IT. Not Emily’s best work I fear.
Not the best, not the worst

The enemies to lovers trope can be so fun but something about this wasn’t involved enough. There just wasn’t enough banter. Too much focus on the secondary characters and the interactions lost momentum. I just wasn’t excited to find out how it ended and almost didn’t even finish reading it. Kinda boring. Skimmed a lot to get to the point.
Truly for book lovers

Loved this beautifully descriptive book. I felt like I knew the characters and could imagine that I was literally with them. I laughed and cried. Sorry to see the end.
Simply Wonderful
