Emily Henry Book order (chronological)

Ein fesselnder Roman über zwei unvergessliche Frauen, die vier Jahrhunderte trennen und dennoch um dieselbe Sache kämpfen: dass ihre Stimmen gehört werden. England im frühen 17. Jahrhundert: Emilia Bassano liebt das Schreiben, doch als Frau hat sie keine eigene Stimme. Nur für einen hohen Preis kann sie ihre Geschichten heimlich auf die Bühne bringen: Sie muss einen Mann finden, der sich als Autor ihrer Werke ausgibt. Und dieser ist niemand anders als Englands berühmtester Dramatiker: William Shakespeare. New York in der Gegenwart: Melina Green ist fest entschlossen, ihr Theaterstück zu veröffentlichen, inspiriert vom Leben ihrer Vorfahrin Emilia Bassano. Auch vierhundert Jahre später wird die Stimme einer Frau immer noch nicht so gehört wie die eines Mannes. Doch wie weit kann Melina gehen, um ihren Traum zu verwirklichen? »Jodi Picoult ist einzigartig! Ihre Romane berühren das Herz und erweitern den Verstand.« Emily Henry

Two writers vie for the opportunity to narrate the captivating story of a woman with a complex past in this enchanting novel. Alice Scott, an optimistic dreamer, is eager for her big writing break, while Hayden Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize winner, exudes a brooding intensity. Both are on Little Crescent Island to write the biography of the elusive Margaret Ives, a tragic heiress and former tabloid sensation from a scandalous family. When Margaret invites them for a month-long trial to decide who will tell her story, Alice is determined to win her over. She believes her likable nature will help her connect with the legendary figure, and she hopes to impress her skeptical family with a significant publication. However, Hayden’s fierce demeanor suggests he views her as a serious rival, complicating matters. As they each receive only fragments of Margaret's story, bound by a strict NDA, the tension between them grows, revealing an unexpected connection. The unfolding narrative promises to be a blend of mystery, tragedy, and romance, shaped by the perspectives of both writers as they navigate their competition and the enigmatic tale of Margaret Ives.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry comes a sparkling and stylish boxed set of the first three novels that started the phenomenon: Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, and Book Lovers. Showcasing Emily Henry's trademark elevated romantic fiction, these three novels are filled to the brim with wit, banter, and joy, while also being relatable, genuinely funny, and cathartic, as Emily tackles themes that resonate deeply with her readers. Beach Read A romance author who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily-ever-afters. People We Meet on Vacation Alex and Poppy are the best of friends, and every summer they have taken one glorious week of vacation together--until two years ago, when they ruined everything. Now, Poppy wants her best friend back and convinces Alex to go on one more trip together: one week to fix everything. Book Lovers A cutthroat literary agent agrees to accompany her sister on a trip to Sunshine Falls, NC, in order to become the heroine in her own story, only to keep bumping into the brooding editor from back in the city.

Nora Stephens jest bezwzględną agentką literacką, dla której książki to nie tylko praca, ale całe życie. Przyzwyczaiła się do samotności, nie mając czasu na poważne związki. Charlie Lastra, redaktor naczelnym, jest największym ponurakiem, jakiego Nora zna, a ich relacja jest napięta od czasu, gdy kilka lat temu odrzucił jej propozycję. Najważniejsza w jej życiu jest młodsza siostra Libby, która po raz trzeci jest w ciąży i potrzebuje chwili wytchnienia. W odpowiedzi na prośbę Libby, Nora zgadza się na miesięczne wakacje w Sunshine Falls w Północnej Karolinie, zamieniając swoje nowojorskie biuro na spokojniejsze otoczenie. Planuje wyluzować i zrezygnować z potrzeby kontroli, nawet jeśli oznacza to noszenie flanelowej koszuli z lumpeksu i randkowanie z drwalem lub poławiaczem homarów. Sierpień zapowiada się interesująco, zwłaszcza że Charlie również się tam pojawia. Książka jest przezabawna, czarująca i pełna ciepła, angażując od pierwszej strony. To obowiązkowa lektura dla miłośników książek, przypominająca, że nie trzeba być bohaterką romansu, aby przeżyć prawdziwą miłość.

Daphne always loved the way her fiance Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it... right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.Scruffy and chaotic - with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads - Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiance's new fiancee's ex... right?

The cottage is for sale so this is the last time they'll all be together here and they can't bear to break their friends' hearts. So, they'll fake it for one more week.It's a flawless plan (if you look at it through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses).But how can you pretend to be in love with someone - and get away with it - in front of the people who know you best?Brimming with characters you can't help but fall for and off-the-charts chemistry, HAPPY PLACE is Emily Henry's best novel yet.

Dzieli ich prawie wszystko, za to łączy fakt, że przez następne trzy miesiące będą mieszkać w sąsiednich domkach na plaży, walcząc z pisarską blokadą i niemocą twórczą. Tymczasem koniec lata to nieprzekładalny termin oddania ich potencjalnych bestsellerów. Zawierają zakład i wymieniają się tematami książki. Zaczyna się wyścig. Wygra ten, kogo książka ukaże się jako pierwsza. Tylko że opowiadanie sobie nawzajem życiowych historii może nieść za sobą poważne ryzyko. I wywrócić świat do góry nogami. „Ludzie, których spotykamy na wakacjach” Dwójka przyjaciół, dziesięć wakacyjnych wyjazdów i tylko jedna okazja, by się zakochać. Poppy i Alex. Alex i Poppy. Najlepsi przyjaciele, którzy każdego lata spotkają się, by spędzić ze sobą tydzień wakacji. Ale dwa lata temu wszystko się popsuło. Od tamtej pory przestali ze sobą rozmawiać.

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.

January, autorka knih pro ženy, která právě teď nevěří na lásku a šťastné konce, má přes léto napsat další román, ale vůbec jí to nejde. Uznávaný spisovatel Augustus zrovna prožívá životní i tvůrčí krizi. Dva dávní známí, nyní nečekaně sousedé, spolu uzavřou sázku, která možná změní jejich představy o tom, co šťastný románový konec vlastně znamená.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart - she's in New York City, and he's in their small hometown - but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together--lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
