Nora is a cut-throat literary agent at the top of her game. Her whole life is books. Charlie is an editor with a gift for creating bestsellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis. Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the one men date before finding their happy-ever-after. To prevent another dating dud, Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her city desk for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls. It's a small town straight out of a romance novel, but instead of meeting sexy lumberjacks, handsome doctors or cute bartenders, Nora keeps bumping into...Charlie. She's no heroine. He's no hero. So can they take a page out of an entirely different book?

Thoughts

I loved this book, in part because it has a meta feel to it - the story about characters going back to a small town and falling in with the local crowd whilst finding romance is such a trope that everyone within the book is well aware of that and is either leaning in to it or actively trying to avoid it. The characters are great, the situations intriguing, the writing engaging and the drama non-stop. I loved it.
