《愛在字裡行間》艾蜜莉‧亨利新作
「艾蜜莉‧亨利永遠不會令人失望,這可能是她目前最精彩的一本書。」—《Malibu Rising》作者Taylor Jenkins Reid
諾拉‧史蒂芬從小就是個愛書人,但她從來就不是個嬌弱的文藝少女。在這世上,諾拉保護的只有兩種人:第一是她的作家們,身為經紀人的她不遺餘力的為旗下作家爭取最有利的條件;第二就是她的妹妹莉比,自從母親離世後,諾拉為了讓妹妹走出陰霾,總是時時陪伴著她。
當挺著大肚子的莉比提議要到北卡羅萊納州的小鎮度假時,諾拉只好放下工作陪著妹妹離開紐約市,來到別名「陽光瀑布」的小鎮。這裡是莉比最愛的小說中介紹的小鎮,她相信戀愛運欠佳的諾拉在這裡一定能遇到英俊的鄉村醫生、或是壯碩的調酒師,沒想到諾拉撞見的卻是她在出版界的死對頭—華頓出版社的總編輯查理‧勒斯拉。在這個如詩如畫的小鎮上,諾拉和查理發現自己精心營造的冷血幹練形象正在急速瓦解,兩人的關係也逐漸起了奇妙的變化…

"One of my favorite authors."--Colleen Hoover
An insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation.Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Oprah Daily ∙ Today ∙ Parade ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Bustle ∙ PopSugar ∙ Katie Couric Media ∙ Book Bub ∙ SheReads ∙ Medium ∙ The Washington Post ∙ and more! One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn’t see coming... Nora Stephens’ life is books--she’s read them all--and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away--with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again--in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow--what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.
