Emily Henry Reading Guide 🤩✨ [where to start, ranking favorites, etc.]

And I gave this one four stars. It's my highest rated of her young adult books.

I was just a little bit underwhelmed by this one, and I think it's mostly because of the serious tone of this book really took me off guard. I was expecting something a little bit more fun and like more like a beach read, you know, like something silly, light-hearted, and this book just was not that.

So those are all some romance books that take place in New York that I really enjoyed.

My number one favorite Emily Henry book is Book Lovers. And in fact, this is the only book of hers that I've reread and I love this so much.

But I just had a lot of fun. And if you want a romance series that follows the same group of friends in a city, I would highly recommend these.

And this one has so much fun, like wedding chaos. And the chemistry between these two characters is absolutely insane.

I also just really loved the vibes and the characters in this book. And I thought it was hilarious. Like I remember so many moments where I was laughing out loud and I just had a really great time with it.

I actually ended up giving this one two, maybe like two and a half out of five stars because this one in my opinion was so boring because not only was the romance like not that great, I didn't really feel that much chemistry between them, but then also the romance is really like the back seat in this story because most of this story is about this woman named Margaret and her life and I just didn't care about this woman Margaret. I wanted way more of the romance and way less about her.

But I just had a lot of fun. And if you want a romance series that follows the same group of friends in a city, I would highly recommend these.

I also just really loved and connected with like the group of friends in this book and the way that this book writes about friendship and how difficult it can be to like maintain those friendships going into adulthood when like all of our lives start to change. I really loved that about this one.

And out of these three, Just for the Summer is my personal favorite.

And then Kiss Her Once for me has got to be one of my favorite sappic romances that I've ever read in my life.

So those are all some romance books that take place in New York that I really enjoyed.

But I do want to recommend these three books specifically because I think these are three of her best books and they're actually all part of the same trilogy.

But I think the reason why this one worked so much for me is because I read it at a time where like I read this kind of during the pandemic, you know, like when it came out in 2021, and it had been so long since I had actually been on a vacation. So reading this, it felt like the perfect escapism. But then also, I thought Poppy and Alex were so cute.

And so I would recommend this one as well. I gave this book five stars. I love this.

Like this is everything that I wanted from like two writers who were going to be writing these beautiful scenes together. I just loved it. I loved the tension between these two in the roughest draft.

And both of these books were also very funny, but had a lot of like heartfelt moments at the same time. Like these are both my ideal perfect romcom kind of books.

And so that's why I was so shocked that both of these books were five stars for me.

So those are all some romance books that take place in New York that I really enjoyed.

The Charm Offensive is a malemale romance that I absolutely adore.

And I always want to recommend these to Emily Henry fans because I feel like these books read like Emily Henry books to me, but if her books included a little sprinkle of something magical because in the dead romantics, this book involves a girl falling in love with a ghost. Like, yeah, it sounds weird, but it's amazing.

So those are all some romance books that take place in New York that I really enjoyed.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of my favorite books that I've ever read in my life. So, I would highly recommend reading this one anyways, but especially if you enjoyed or if you were disappointed in Great Big Beautiful Life because it's so obvious to me that this book was really inspired by this one.

And then the seven-year slip involves a character who's falling in love. There's like time travel elements. There's like a seven-year time loop thing happening in this one.

It was The Love That Split the World. And this is a book that I personally gave three stars.

I gave this book two stars. A lot of people compared this one to Stranger Things, and I just didn't think it was that compelling or that interesting.

But I just had a lot of fun. And if you want a romance series that follows the same group of friends in a city, I would highly recommend these.

But I do want to recommend these three books specifically because I think these are three of her best books and they're actually all part of the same trilogy.
