Not a fanthis was not a book for me. what I read in this book does not feel like romance to me. It feels like very toxic just surface level relationships that are heavily based on sexual gratification.
Book Lovers (2022)
Others: Leaning positive La comedia romántica del año. Un fenómeno mundial de TikTok. Un verano. Dos rivales. Un giro de guion que no vieron venir. Nora Stephens se ha pasado la vida entre libros; es una dura agente literaria que pelea por las obras y los contratos de cada uno de sus clientes. Solo hay una cosa que esté por encima de su trabajo: su hermana pequeña Libby, a la que lleva cuidando desde que su madre falleció. Por eso decide acceder a su petición e ir con ella a Sunshine Falls, el lugar en el que se ambienta su libro favorito. Allí, Libby pretende realizar un viaje de transformación en el que recrear las escenas de sus novelas favoritas hasta lograr que Nora sea la protagonista de su propia novela. Con lo que ninguna de las dos cuenta es con toparse con Charlie Lastra, un editor con el que Nora ya había tenido un encontronazo en Nueva York y que amenaza con convertirse en una presencia constante en sus vacaciones. A veces, ni siquiera una agente literaria y un editor son capaces de escribir su propia historia.

Others: Overwhelmingly positiveA romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

Others: Mostly positivePiper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father’s dive bar... in Washington. Piper hasn’t even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won’t last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can’t do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She’s determined to show her stepfather—and the hot, grumpy local—that she’s more than a pretty face. Except it’s a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there’s an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn’t want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan—and this town full of memories—may have already caught her heart.

Others: Leaning positivePoppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book.

For most of the year they live far apart--she's in New York City, and he's in their small hometown--but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together--lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.

Others: MixedFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis—with explosive results. Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

Not a fan
Not a fanI didn't like People We Meet on Vacation, and I didn't like book lovers.
Review 1 of 7
NeutralBook lovers is about two publishing professionals, a literary agent and an editor who kind of buted heads over one project in the past. And our main character goes on this sister's trip to a small town.
MixedI think I'm also going to put that in I like liked this book. Like these two in particular by Emily Henry are good. They're just not my favorite.
Loved itIt's very much enemies to lovers. It very much centers books and the love of stories. Great sister elements too. It's a lot of fun.

Review 1 of 3
Loved itthis was actually the very first Emily Henry romance I ever read and it reminds me that I need to go back and read through her backlist because this was just so wonderful. plus it is just a really good hate turns into love romance which I think is probably my favorite of all of the romance formulas
Not a fanI love Emily Henry so much but I struggled with happy place I struggled with Book Lovers
Mixedthe last Emily Henry book that I read was Book Lovers and I was a little like it was good but I was a little disappointed in that one overall
Loved itthis is however my absolute favorite Emily Henry book I just love romances between two people that cannot talk about their emotions
