Not because I have no life, but because I can’t bear to let the one Mom wanted for us to slip away. So Nora has been Libby’s primary ‘caretaker,’ vowing to do whatever she could to protect and help Libby, to give Libby the life their mother had started to create for them in New York. Their mom died when her sister, Libby, was in high school. Her and her sister’s father left them when they were young. Nora is a literary agent, the liaison between authors and editors. It’s also a story of the friendship of sisters and the process of grief.Īnd even though I can’t really understand people who love to live in New York City and view the millions of other people as family, I can respect that Emily Henry allowed her character to not follow the norm and let the busy-ness and crowdedness of the city to be a good thing. What I love most about this rom-com is that it’s more than just a funny love story. Nora has accepted that she is the ice-queen with no feelings, destined to be alone, but doesn’t mind because she only cares to be successful in her career (in books) and be there for her younger sister. She’s been the one left behind in New York for the small town magic. Well this is about the ‘city-lover’ who was broken up with.
You know how the Hallmark movies are typically just versions of: ‘Big-city-career-driven-person visits small town for some reason, falls in love with a simple-life-local, breaks up with city-lover to move to said small town and find the more important things in life.’ ?
I mean… was I ever NOT going to read a book called ‘Book Lovers’? Of watching something break that I don’t know how to fix.” Of loving someone I can’t hold on to, of watching my sister slip through my fingers like sand. Of wanting anything badly enough that it will destroy me when I can’t have it.
