Emily Henry is the author of "Book Lovers"

Author Emily Henry is no stranger to the publishing world, but the release of her seventh and most anticipated novel has been one of her greatest surprises. Book Lovers follows Nora, a work-a-holic literary agent who takes a vacation with her sister to the idyllic, fictional town of Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, but she can’t seem to escape her literary nemesis, Charlie.

I recently spoke with Emily Henry about her inspiration as well as her goal of weaving romance with more literary fiction. This episode of Marginalia features our conversation.
