Book review ! Book Lovers by Emily Henry

“Nora.” He just barely smiles. “You’re in books. Of course you don’t have a life. None of us do. There’s always something too good to read.” ― Emily Henry, Book Lovers

Rating 5.0 / 5.0 stars

If you're looking for a romance book that feels like it's really for young adults and not written for a 14-year-old girls dreaming with a unrealistic romance, this is the book for you.

The protagonist of a woman obsessed with her work which she loves, with a complex step that led her to develop an excessive sense of responsibility for things beyond her control and a low self-esteem that makes her have little self-care with her mental health, she is a woman with her priorities very clear, she lives for what she does, her career motivates her and makes her happy, She loves books and lives surrounded by them, she doesn't want children and doesn't dream of a small and quiet life, she loves New York City and its thousands of people, she is a complex character but very easy to empathize with, her previous relationships ended for several reasons but the most important one is that none of her ex-partners wanted the same as her.

“So if you’re the ‘wrong kind of woman,’ then I’m the wrong kind of man.” - Emily Henry, Book Lovers (im gonna go insane)

We can learn a lot from her character, the process of understanding how the way she dealt with this excessive responsibility for the guilt she hadn't healed and that when she met someone who really had life plans, personalities and desires similar to hers I could connect with him without changing who he was, without making spoilers I think their relationship feels so real and beautiful that it's a little painful to cry the last 40 pages like a baby.

I loved that you both loved the books, you don't know how much I loved it.

A super enjoyable easy read with an ormance that makes you laugh and cry in less than 400 pages, I really can't stop thinking about this book.

The message of these books for me were:

You don't have to feel bad or unlovable for having life plans other than getting married, having kids and a small, calm life. Loving big cities, being crazy about your career or not wanting to have kids makes you just as capable of receiving a love

It is a great quality to put your family first but if you don't take care of yourself and pursue your happiness you will not be able to.

When something works with someone you don't have to change or sacrifice any part of yourself, God just makes it happen.

challenging negative self-talk

negative self-talk is the automatic, often subconscious stream of thoughts criticising or belittling oneself. it’s like having an internal critic constantly pointing out your faults, mistakes, and shortcomings. this self-talk differs from constructive self-criticism, which is goal-oriented and aimed at improvement.

why does it happen? negative self-talk can stem from various sources:

past experiences: childhood events, critical parents, or bullying at school can implant a seed of self-doubt that grows over time.

negative feedback: traumatic experiences may lead individuals to internalize feelings of inadequacy or failure.

recognizing and challenging negative self-talk is essential for maintaining mental well-being and achieving personal growth.

breaking the cycle of negative self-talk involves several strategies:

awareness: recognize when negative thoughts arise and pay attention to patterns and triggers. challenge their validity. are they based on evidence or assumptions?

question your thoughts: ask yourself: “is this thought helpful?” or “is it accurate?” try and replace irrational thoughts with more balanced ones.

positive affirmations: create positive statements about yourself. repeat them daily. focus on your strengths and achievements.

mindfulness and meditation: practice mindfulness to observe thoughts without judgment. meditation can help reduce anxiety and improve self-awareness.

seek professional help: consider therapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioural therapy) to address deeper issues.

remember - breaking the cycle takes time and effort, but it's essential for your well-being!
