I cannot believe the 5-star reads lately, but I cannot rate this one any lower. I loved everything about it! 


Synopsis: Nora Stephens is a high-powered literary agent in New York City, seemingly unlucky in love. She is forced to take some time off in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina with her little sister, Libby. Libby, who is having problems of her own, wants to see what life is like in the small towns from her favorite romance novel. 


Nora is constantly bumping into Charlie Lastra, a testy and brilliant editor who she had a very confrontational lunch with a couple of years earlier. The more they are thrown together, the more you find what motivates their actions & behaviors. Maybe they are more similar than they know?


This book is my favorite Emily Henry novel to date and had everything in it you could possibly dream of: laugh-out-loud humor, romance, heartbreak, healing, not to mention several references to Jane Austen novels (I mean, was this book written just for me?!).

There is also a section at the end of the book where the author describes her research, which parts of the story were from her own imagination & which were real. I thought this was a really valuable asset to have, & I like how she blended the real with fictional events. I would highl...
