Beach Read
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.

"Everyone's got shit, January. Sometimes, the thing about someone else's is a relief."
~Beach Read by Emily Henry
Squeezing a summer beach read before the summer ends.
An incredible read that depicts two writers, Augustus (Gus) and January, who knew each other a lifetime ago, back in the days of college. They were nemeses who did not appreciate each other's way of thinking. Many years later, two lost souls with writersâ block are about to converge. What happens? A bet and many revelations. Heartbreaks and betrayals and what loyalty means.
What I love about this book is the honesty the two share as they slowly draw you into their lives and what went wrong. Their repertoire was very witty. What I thought might be a fluff read turned out to be so much richer and better.

One of my best reads ever!!! I loved it, loved it!!
I fell in love with the writing of @emilyhenrywrites just so beautifully written!!
This book is about two authors of different genres who swap their genres and bets to see who writes and publishes their book first, whoever loses promotes the winner's book. In the bet of winning, they fell in love and the progress of their romance together is beautiful written.
The tropes are: enemies to lovers, boy falls first, slow burn
I love the characters Augustus and January. The themes of grief, loss, angst, past-trauma has been portrayed and a message of giving life and love a second chance has been conveyed.
I recommend this book to every reader who likes romance.
