Book Lovers by Emily Henry
3.5

Really enjoyed the beginning, but felt 'meh' by the end. The over-use of the word sissy was distracting. And this one I think is more personal to me, but
I typically don't love when the main characters declare their love like halfway or 3/4 into the book and then you are just reading about them being sad until they find a way to make it work. Unless their situation is decently compelling on its own, I get bored. I didn't find this one compelling enough without the romantic tension.
I really liked Charlie and Nora together, and reading Henry's take on the small town trope was fun. I found the ending really predictably cheesy, in a bit of an eyeroll-inducing way.
