Book Lovers: Deluxe Edition by Emily Henry

from $15.99
Hardcover:

Emily Henry's beloved New York Times bestselling novel, now in a gorgeous special hardcover collector's edition with:
· A dazzling revamped cover
· Beautifully illustrated endpapers with matching sprayed edges
· A unique foil-stamped case, and…
· A new letter from Emily and a never-before-seen epilogue from the original draft of the book!

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

Nora Stephens' life is books—she's read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she's convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they've met many times and it's never been cute.

If Nora knows she's not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he's nobody's hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they've written about themselves.

This book is for you if

  • You want a rivals-to-lovers romance between a cutthroat literary agent and the brooding editor she can't stand to be right about.

  • You love a small-town-transformation setup that keeps twisting the trope back on itself.

  • You're here for banter that's really two people slowly realizing they see each other more clearly than anyone else does.

  • You want a sisters story as much as a love story—about finally letting someone else write your happy ending.

  • You collect deluxe editions: this one has a foil-stamped case, illustrated endpapers, and a never-before-seen epilogue.
