Nora Stephens' life is books.
Having read many, she has concluded that she is in no way the classic heroine found in novels.
She is not unexpectedly brave, nor the girl everyone dreams of having, and she is certainly not sweet, innocent, and romantic.
In fact, the only people who see her as a heroine are her author clients, for whom she closes incredible deals, and her little sister Libby, who is fond of her.
One summer. Two sworn enemies. And a twist they never anticipated.
Nora Stevens' life revolves around books. Having read many, she has concluded that she is by no means the classic heroine found in novels. She is not unexpectedly brave, nor is she the girl everyone dreams of having, and she is certainly not sweet, innocent, and romantic.
In fact, the only people who see her as a heroine are the author clients for whom she negotiates incredible deals, and her little sister Libby, who adores her. For her sake, Nora agrees to spend their summer vacation in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. Libby has dreams for this trip. Mostly, she believes that Nora should start acting a little more carefree… more romantically.
However, instead of picnics in the countryside or chance encounters with some charming country doctor, or even a flirtation with the bartender at the local pub, Nora keeps running into Charlie Lastra, a bookish, ambitious, and somewhat quirky book editor. At first glance, one might say it's a beautiful coincidence. The only problem is that these two have met many times before, with no spark between them.
You see, Nora is not the ideal fictional heroine and Charlie is certainly not the classic hero found in books. But as they keep bumping into each other—thanks to a series of coincidences—they discover that sometimes the image we have of ourselves is nothing more than a well-crafted story.
“Even when you’re on the last page of a book and think you know everything… the story can find a way to surprise you.”
