Book Lovers

Book Lovers is a romantic comedy about Nora Stephens, a powerful New York literary agent who knows every trope in the book because she has lived one of the worst ones: she is always the ambitious girlfriend left behind when a man finds his sweeter, simpler life elsewhere. When her beloved pregnant sister Libby begs for a month in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, Nora agrees, hoping to repair the strange distance growing between them.

But Sunshine Falls is not the charming literary haven Nora expected. It is shabby, complicated, and inconveniently occupied by Charlie Lastra, the severe editor who once rejected her client’s novel and has never stopped irritating her. As Nora and Charlie are forced together by work, family, and a manuscript that hits too close to home, their banter becomes recognition, then desire, then something far more dangerous: the possibility of being loved without becoming smaller.

• Listeners who love smart, banter-heavy romance with emotional depth.
• Fans of stories about sisters, grief, ambition, and chosen happy endings.
• Anyone who has ever rooted for the driven city woman instead of the small-town fantasy.
