Description

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.”

Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • A sweet, romantic story that explores the power of self-awareness and change through the twists and turns that life brings. Nora, a woman who does not fit the classic image of a heroine, and Charlie, the quirky book editor, discover that their real story is not what they imagine. With clever humor and emotional depth, the author creates a world that, although romantic, is full of truth and authenticity. A book that leaves a sweet feeling and is worth reading.
