I had the same thoughts! My favorite is still PWMOV. My rankings would be: 1. People We Meet on Vacation 2. Book Lovers 3. Beach Read

I only read Beach Read of hers and didn’t love it so I was on the fence about Book Lovers. Well, I ended up buying it because-FOMO and loved it!!! Was so good! Loved the sister plot, loved the small town romance too.

I loved this book! I loved all of Emily Henry’s books but I think this was my favorite, then beach read, then people we meet on vacation. Also I thought I was being so smart too when reading and was like how is this girl not picking up the signals of what’s going on and then what was actually happening was revealed and it made it all so good! I also really enjoyed a Nora and was happy with how it turned out with her.

I absolutely loved Book Lovers!! There is something really special about Emily Henry books where there is a great romance that develops beautifully, but also a plot where her main character goes through something hard that forces her to rethink life and how to live it. It's the perfect balance of women's fiction and romance. Books Lovers kinda made me spiral ahahahah, it forces you to apply Nora's reflections to your own life: what do I want to prioritize in my life? what career do I want? do i put myself or others first? why do i think i deserve/don't deserve certain things that i want? It was amazing. If i was forced to choose an order (all 3 books are so amazing so it would be really hard), i would say Beach Read was my favorite, followed by Book Lovers and then PWMOV. As always, your videos are great Nikki, loved your analysis :)

Currently halfway through this book. Loved how it started. Grabbed your attention right away… I’m hooked. Love Emily Henry and her writing/storytelling. Can’t wait to see how it all unravels.

My only complaint was that Emily didn't Show vs. Tell when it came to Nora and Charlie and their personalities. It was like she really wanted us to think that Nora was cold, but we never really saw it in action. She was always so sweet and kind and loving, especially with her sister. And everyone always harped on how "different" Charlie was... but he seemed pretty normal to me. He didn't seem cold at all. In fact, he seemed very emotionally available and tender hearted when it came to his family and Nora. So I didn't get it. But beyond that I loved the book alot.

1) People we meet on vacation 2) Book Lovers 3) Beach read

i enjoyed book lovers a lot and loved all the literary references! A great review.

My ranking 1. Book lovers 2. Beach read 3. People we meet on vacation

This book is gold. First book I read from Emily Henry and I think I'm hooked.

This is my new favorite!!! People we meet on vacation is a close second

So excited to buy this book next!

Nothing beats people we meet on vacation. But yea book lovers is way better than beach read!

I finished book lovers a few days ago it was good definitely will continue reading Emily Henry books 🙂

charlie fucking lastra. that's it.

Tbh you just give realistic review. I always watch your reviews before start reading.Sometimes l really feel frustrated when l don’t get any particular review on ur chanel ❤

I started reading this book and it's a great read thus far. I've always felt sorry for the city character dumped for a small town character..and wanted to know their story

Hey.I found your points of view about the book useful and interesting as the one who is gonna read Emily Henry for the first time and needs advice. I’m thinking about two books:Book lovers or People we meet on vacation.Which one do you recommend to read ? Which one is more flowing to read on a summer day ?( Planning to read it in summer)❤

Just started it and the way they described Charlie reminded me of the critic from ratatouille, now I can't unimagine it help!

Great book synopsis and book review! Love the comparisons to Emily’s Two other adult books. And I agree, they have been somewhat similar but thankfully they haven’t disappointed. My ranking: 1. Book Lovers 2. Beach Read 3. PWMOV Can’t wait for Happy Place🥰 With all that said, I would have been so upset had I watched this vid before reading the book 😅. It could be just a me thing but your synopsis/book review is a bit too detailed for the vid to include *no spoilers* 🫣

I love love this book ! Gave up on Emily Hener post reading people we meet on vacation 😢 but this one is gold 😊❤

English isn't my first language but u encouraged me alloott to read English books and I do enjoy them and bought more and more based on ur recs🥺💚💚

@nikki's book nook RANDOM QUESTION! Where did you get your couch? Green anything is my life and I am currently furniture shopping for my new place! LOVE IT!

great review! i havent read her other books but i feel like i need to after reading this book. i totally agree that i appreciate the characters dont do a complete 180 and slowly change in a realistic way. i posted my full review on the book on my channel as well recently.

I'm definitely will give this book a try hopefully I will enjoy it 🤔🙂📖

Hey Nikki , love your channel I want to read a book that gives me under the ocean or on top of it vibes , the raw nature , the weather above the ocean and all the ocean elements. I want a novel with a thrilling story in this water element which should be beautifully written and descriptive , if you have any recommendations please give .

I just started reading this! It is a bit of a slow start for me so far but hoping it picks up (:

I will have to check her out

I loved this book!!

I enjoyed your review Nikki, thanks for sharing with us. I had read the other two after Emily's latest. Book Lovers was great and hilarious. And it is not just because of the couple for me, Nora and Charlie, it is also about those all around them. I love a book where if there is to be romance at the core of it, there has to be a lot going on around them as well; the interactions of the main duo/the events of their bubbling romance had to have a positive impact on those in their inner circles (I know it's odd, but it's the only way I care about a romance). There was also great messages regarding how to overcome hard upbringings, dealing with death, sexism, miscommunications, family issues, small town issues, book archetypes and so on. I am nothing like the personality of Nora, and I love people who are like that, yet, I have had very relatable life events to hers. I appreciate that Emily wrote about those types of relatable events as not many people do. This was so good I decided to read the other books. One downfall of the book was this: "sissy.".. If my sisters and I ever said that, someone is being disowned. Favourite banter was about Bigfoot Erotica. I thought it was made up... then I googled it.... I am now like Charlie where I think I could have gone my whole life without knowing that genre existed. Fans of the other two books I apologize. I tried to like the other two books just as much, however, couldn't ever get there. I know folks will totally disagree, and it's cool People We Meet on Vacation made me wish I could root for the longtime duo Alex and Poppy in the beginning, and I enjoyed how Emily went back and forth over the summers to the present day.... but all I felt was that they really made poor decisions that REALLY hurt others and themselves. The vasectomy for instance... I won't explain, but I think most MAY get/understand (even a little) when my thought was "dude, you did what, and that's why? but you were with...?..." Redemption kind of came at the end for those two, but at the same time, they were just... they fell flat for me, it kind of was too late at that point for me. Kudos to those who felt different. Beach Read, I felt was way more about the death that takes place before the book, and I was intrigued. I felt there was a bit more of progression I could get on board with between Gus and January, however, in certain ways it felt more forced at times, and like Nikki I got a bit bored, even with some of the dark parts of book... lost interest pretty quick, though I read to the end. I think Book Lovers was the best. That being said I read it first, and that could have a bit to do with not enjoying her previous works as much, the bar felt higher at that point; especially as her characters' humours and wits were just so great vs the other two (to me), and that may have been my greater expectation for her other works

do you have some recs of this trope "she fell first he fell harder"

Literally just read all 3 within the past week. Read them out of order (PWMOV, Book Lovers, then Beach Read). My ranking: 1. Book Lovers 2. PWMOV 3. Beach Read Excited for her new book next year!

I made a video only about emily henry favorite QUOTES ♡

Does anyone know what book that is between the fault in our stars and the hating game ?

Hi! Does Book Lovers have any trigger warnings?

You just gave a little spoiler that Charlie is from Sunshine Falls. Anyways, I liked your idea of comparing this book with the other two.

Book lovers was a good book but yes in the middle it was slow and unnecessary, it couldn't move at a faster pace.

Why is book lovers not quite intriguing to me. I have read half book but it feels there is no story build up

🎉🎉🎉

I don't know why but book lovers is literally my comfort book

❤️❤️❤️

I didn’t like either of her other books so have no desire to read this but still watching this video lmao

If you’ve read the book, which store would you most want to go in? SPOILER: for me it’s be G’s Spaaaa🤣🤣

Just watched Henry do a promotion junket for this book and she came off as pretentious....with that said, I could not get through any of her books because yeah... they're pretentious, as well. Also, goofy and gaudy like those ridiculous soap operas my 80 year old mother watches on the Hallmark channel, along with HSN... 😂

Emily Henry can do no wrong (in the literary sense), in my opinion. This book was so good, so sweet, funny, and special. I loved the characters especially Charlie Lastra🥲 For me it would be: Book Lovers People we meet on vacay Beach read 😊 Also, side note: I’m usually the person who prefers having dual POVs in contemporary romances because I like seeing inside the heads of both the characters but I’ve never had that issue with EmHen’s books. I’m always so satisfied with the single POV because of the way she writes and the stuff she gives us readers to work with. Ugh. Ok imma stop.
