Emily Henry: Book Lovers (EBook, 2022, Penguin Random House) 4 stars

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

Loved the middle, ending moved a little quick

4 stars

Someday I'll be able to split a romance novel over two sittings, but it's not this one.

I love, love, love, loved the first 2/3 of this book. FL's love for her city home and career really resonated with me - definitely this is on my short list for "reverse Hallmark" books. The ending wrapped up too quickly for me, and a little bit too pat, but I did appreciate that FL's sister also lifted some of the childbearing pressure from the main couple and rounded the whole family out. And I really, really loved that we didn't end up sacrificing the place we actually want to live and thrive for love when it seems like the reasons on paper all lined up to do so.
