Ranking Emily Henry Romance Books

Daphne is in a tough place after her fiance leaves her for his childhood best friend Petra. As she tries to put the pieces of her life back together, she finds an unlikely companion in Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. They form an unlikely alliance in an attempt to cope with their romantic woes which involves fake dating. But it’s all just for show right? Because there’s no way Daphne would actually fall in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

In my opinion this book has some of the best banter Emily Henry has ever written! The characters are lovable and relatable, and the romance is perfectly balanced with character development. It’s an incredibly bingworthy story!

Nora reluctantly agrees to a sisters’ trip to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, hoping for a small-town transformation. Instead of romantic encounters, she repeatedly runs into Charlie Lastra, an editor from the city. Despite the awkwardness of their past interactions, they find themselves working together. As a result, they start to question the narratives they’ve constructed about themselves and what will ultimately make them happy.

I loved how this book poked fun at the city girl falls in love with a country boy cliche. I adored the relationship between Charlie and Nora, but my favorite couple in this book was Nora and her sister. It was sweet to see them embrace their past and figure out how to move forward in a healthier way.

January, a romance writer who doesn’t believe in love and Augustus, a fellow author stuck in a literary rut, decide on a summer long challenge to spark some creativity. They are opposites in every way, so there’s no chance this challenge will end with them falling in love. Right?

Hurt, anger, grief, love, healing, this book had it all. I felt January’s emotions as if they were my own (probably because I see a lot of myself in her). But to me, those are the best kinds of stories to read. This is definitely a ‘feel good’ book, but it also deals with some heavy topics. The balance between the two was done really well. It felt light hearted, but still had substance.

If anything, this book has convinced me that I need a beach house so I can write notes back and forth with a sexy neighbor Taylor Swift style.

Harriet and Wyn broke up months ago, but still haven’t told their best friends. In an attempt to keep harmony among their group, they make a pact to pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation in Maine. What could possibly go wrong? They have to lie to those who know them best while trying to deny the attraction they still have for each other. How hard can it be to fake date for just one week?

This story may be called Happy Place, but it deals with some pretty heavy topics. Grief, trauma, hurt, loss, loneliness, fear, anxiety. These characters are two broken people who need healing. It’s a second chance romance that will leave a tiny piece of your heart shattered.

Poppy and Alex are best friends. Even though they live far away from each other, every summer, for over 10 years they have taken a vacation where they spend one week exploring a new place together. This suddenly stopped after an incident on one of their trips. It’s been two years since they’ve spoken and Poppy feels unhappy with her life. In an attempt to make things better she convinces Alex to take one more vacation together. He surprisingly agrees and now Poppy has one last chance to make things right.

As an enemies to lovers girl I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this book as much as I did! It was a light, easy read with a fun story. I’m convinced that anything Emily Henry writes I will enjoy. This wasn’t my favorite book from her, but it was still good.

Overall it is an entertaining book, and would be perfect if you’re looking for a light hearted spring/summer read!
