Book Lovers by Emily Henry
5.0

Reread: I am 3/4 done with my Emily Henry re-read and this one I think has become my favorite. I just absolutely love the banter between Nora and Charlie. Their chemistry just comes off the page and Julia Whelan is such a fantastic narrator that she just sucks me in with her voices. 

Absolutely loved it even more the 2nd time around.

Thank you to Libro FM for the gifted copy of this book! 

I know I know I know. Just like with Beach Read, I am a little late on my reading of this one too. 
Once again, I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. I knew after I finished Beach Read that I couldn't wait and had to go right into this one.

I love the dynamic between Nora and Charlie. I would even consider this to be a grumpy & grumpy trope. Their connection, their banter just everything was great. I also loved Nora's relationship with her sister Libby. It was not perfect and had its ups & downs. 

Give me all of Emily Henry books. 
She continues to write such perfect book boyfriends. 
Charlie may be my favorite of the 3 book boyfriends??! 

And since we are getting a PWMOV movie, I really think we need to work on the other 2 as they are much stronger than PWMOV. Also I selfishly want the bonus scene to be filmed. 

Julia Whelan narrated all 3 and even though I don't like it when the same narrator reads within the same series (even though these are technically stand alones), this is an exception. She has such a skill that is unmatched. I know I am in for an enjoyable listen when she does the narration.
