Emily Henry
FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION AND BOOK LOVERS!A romance writer 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.Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

"4.5 - This was so funny! <br/><br/>I loved the banter between the two main characters. It had the element of rivals – but with juicy history between them. <br/><br/>I also appreciated that this was only told from one POV. I was totally expecting to switch over to the other main character but it never happened. It was such a pleasant surprise. <br/><br/>The climax of this book also made so much sense. It wasn’t overly dramatic but it wasn’t nothing either. In other books they make the climax so life changing when it really is just another but slightly bigger problem than all the rest. <br/><br/>Honestly, when I was starting this book, I was expecting them to be on the beach more. But I think it worked out quite well."
"Reading Emily Henry is just a lot of fun! I always find myself laughing out loud with her characters. I think Beach Read was my favourite of the 3. I really liked Book Lovers as well but I liked the characters and the other elements intertwined in this story more. It’s emotional and a slow burn and just so good! I also like that there is no 3rd act breakup. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 🌶/5 "
"4.5/5
What’s odd about this one is this takes place in beach houses obviously near the beach and yet I didn't get that much of a summer feel like I was hoping for but it's still a fun witty romance Emily Henry writes some of the best banter like not me laughing out loud while reading i finished this book pretty quick I couldn't stop reading "
