La comedia romántica del año. Un fenómeno mundial de TikTok. Un verano. Dos rivales. Un giro de guion que no vieron venir.

Nora Stephens se ha pasado la vida entre libros; es una dura agente literaria que pelea por las obras y los contratos de cada uno de sus clientes. Solo hay una cosa que esté por encima de su trabajo: su hermana pequeña Libby, a la que lleva cuidando desde que su madre falleció. Por eso decide acceder a su petición e ir con ella a Sunshine Falls, el lugar en el que se ambienta su libro favorito. Allí, Libby pretende realizar un viaje de transformación en el que recrear las escenas de sus novelas favoritas hasta lograr que Nora sea la protagonista de su propia novela.

A wonderful book about romance tropes.

This book was fantastic. It's a classic enemies-to-lovers story, but it's crafted beautifully. Nora is initially positioned as the "city girlfriend" that gets repeatedly dumped by the protagonists of other stories. However, she is relatable, well written, and her relationship with Charlie feels natural and honest.

They don't do the tired plot point of not being open with each and then getting upset over a misunderstanding. Both characters live their lives in a straightforward and direct manner, and communicate to each other in a similarly honest way. This made their struggles feel less selfish, and more collaborative.

I was real worried about how Henry was going to end the story (I even had my stationary at the ready to write a strongly-worded letter), but she stuck the landing. I will be reading more of her work.
