“Book Lovers,” a subversive romantic comedy and bestselling novel from Emily Henry, is getting the feature film treatment.
Movie rights have been picked up by Tango, Lia Buman’s film and television development financier and producer. Sarah Hayward is attached to write the script.
“Emily is a dominant force in the world of romantic comedy and we feel so lucky to bring to the screen a story that has already delighted so many on the page. The irreverent and whip smart writing delivers on classic romcom tropes while avoiding cliches, making it perfect for a cozy and refreshing adaptation,” Buman said.
The novel follows Nora, a cutthroat literary agent who, convinced by her sister to spend an August holiday in North Carolina, keeps running into Charlie, a bookish, brooding editor from 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.
