Books like Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Nora Stephens is a gruff literary agent who devotes her life to negotiating contracts for her clients. Anything above her work is her little sister Libby, whom she has cared for since their mother’s death. When Libby asks for a trip to Sunshine Falls—setting of her favorite book—Nora agrees, hoping the weekend will be a chance for her to step back from the office grind. The two sisters plan a week of recreating scenes from beloved novels, aiming to let Nora become the protagonist of her own story. But the plans are disrupted when Nora’s former editor, Charlie Lastra, from New York, arrives, threatening a tense encounter that could turn her vacation into a professional ordeal. The novel blends contemporary romance with a meta‑literary twist, following the sisters as they juggle family bonds, career pressures, and the unexpected complications that arise when a literary adversary enters their idyllic getaway.
