As I was one of the children that frequently needed to help with the younger siblings, I LOVED this book. I found Nora to be so relatable, as I had experienced many of the same things she did. I can recall stressing on money for necessities, how to make sure everyone was where they needed to be on time, and just in general parenting. It depicted the stress and beauty of parenting as an older sibling so honestly. Thankfully my dad was highly involved every step of the way, he just needed help. I won’t pretend my mom is as big of an asshole as Nora and Libby’s dad, but there we definitely had some drawbacks of our own. I found the characters were extremely charming, and even Charlie grew on me quickly. I’ll admit that I typically find the enemies-to-lovers trope cheesy, but Henry really made it work. I found myself rooting for the cranky duo on every page. I enjoyed that their romance is real; although many people do not get a happy ending like theirs, it was true to the complicated development of many relationships. There is so much more I could say about Book Lovers, but my commentary would only include spoilers. If I could recommend one book that I have read this year to the world, this just might be it 📚
