Review - Book Lovers
AUTHOR: Emily Henry
RATING: ★★★★
Summary (from Goodreads): 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.
REVIEW: Such a great story! Emily Henry never disappoints. There were SO many times I caught myself laughing out loud while reading this book. The witty banter between the characters was top-notch and very entertaining. The only reason I didn’t give it five years was due to the angst between Nora and Libby. Their dependency on each other and their anxiety over it seemed overly dramatic at times. Still, I love a great rom-com, and I would highly recommend Book Lovers to those of you out there who love them too.

Recipe - Greek Yogurt Cake
This Greek Yogurt Cake is SO GOOD! According to my calculations, it’s 3 points per serving. I topped it with light whipped topping for one additional point. Next time I’ll buy some strawberries to put on top. YUM!
INGREDIENTS:
- One box sugar-free yellow cake mix
- 2 containers (5.3 ounces each) vanilla Greek non-fat yogurt
- One cup water
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using an electric mixer, mix all ingredients together in a large bowl on medium speed until smooth. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and pour cake batter into dish. Cook for 34-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. Cut into 16 servings.
