Why was I avoiding Emily Henry?

Beach Read by Emily Henry

December 30, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

Oh, this was so much fun.  An opposites-attract rom com where both protagonists are authors (write what you know, I guess!). January has inherited a house from her dad – the titular beach house – where he had a second life, with a second wife.  She would not be here if she had any other options, but she’s between novels with zero inspiration, and the bills won’t pay themselves. Gus is your standard New York Lonely Boy (thanks, Girls 5Eva), a Franzen/Eggers style writer who […]

Local Booksellers Know Best (Part Two)

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit 2 Comments

This was recommended to me by a local bookseller, when I asked her “What’s the best book you’ve read this month?”  I consider it a solid strategy; I was introduced to Christopher Brookmyre this way back in the mid 90s, and have never had cause to regret it. The bookseller who recommended this said it got her out of a reading slump, and since I’d not long since read Beach Read, I was keen to give it a go. Its another winner from Emily Henry […]

Double Cannonballing with Book Lovers.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

July 13, 2022 by narfna 5 Comments

I promise I didn’t plan to Double Cannonball with this excellent book, which just so happens to be about books and writing books, and publishing books. It’s just serendipity. I was so happy when I realized about fifty pages into this book that it was going to be another situation like with her first adult romance, Beach Read, where I’m just immediately in love with everything about it. I liked People We Meet on Vacation a lot, but it didn’t hit me in that place […]

Clearly going to be one of my favourite books of the year

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

July 4, 2022 by Malin Leave a Comment

You know in a lot of romantic comedies, the hero already has a girlfriend, but she’s stern, and demanding and seems to have absolutely no feelings that don’t revolve around her career and probably living in the big city? The woman who eventually gets left, so the hero can get with the charming, free-spirited, understanding and much more laid-back heroine of the rom-com? Nora Stephens is that woman. She loves her life in New York City, she loves her Peloton bike, she loves her designer […]

emily henry does it again

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

June 5, 2022 by wicherwill 3 Comments

When I think of Emily Henry, I think kisses. I don’t know what it is, but the woman has the ability to write kisses really well–they feel different, they feel specific, they feel evocative. That’s not a silly thing to point out, I don’t think. In Romancelandia, there’s a lot of kisses going on so it really does take something to stand out. Suffice to say, she continues to do the same thing here, so when it comes to consistency she’s 10/10. Otherwise, of all […]

Grumpy Sunshine Literary Summer

Beach Read by Emily Henry

February 21, 2022 by Halbs Leave a Comment

My wife reads around 100 books a year. At the end of each year, she picks five or 10 of those for me to read. They’re usually some of my favorites each year – it’s almost like she knows me.) One of her choices for me this year was Emily Henry’s Beach Read, which was a Book of the Month Club choice and would probably be a great movie with the right cast. It’s a “grumpy sunshine”-styled rom-com, although it doesn’t fit squarely in the […]
