Description
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.

5By jadecatherine24It was so cute and perfect to read in summerCute
5By SoniaHugsI love Emily Henry’s books and had read this one to complete all of them. I read so many negative reviews but in all honesty I don’t believe this book deserves that. It is a cute book and has great characters. The characters in this book seems to have so many challenges and it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows but it’s a good book. If you like Emily Henry, read it. It’s cute, happy, sad, up and down but you’ll enjoy it.A little boring
2By knicoletNever was able to finish the book as much as I love romance books. Follows the very typical next door neighbor trope and it got boring to me half way through :/lovely
5By addieee13this book is very well written and easy to read, with believable, lovable characters:) it was these qualities, among others, that made Beach Read the first book i’ve finished for my own enjoyment in about a year. i laughed and smiled and even cried a little bit throughout this lovely summer read, and i highly recommended to anyone who needs a moment to feel understood🫶Too cute
5By Kelly LeVeque….perfect beach read.January and Gus have me forever.
5By msmickelleThe best book I’ve read this year, it was amazing and left me speechless. LOVE.Nice
3By Angelica813A little predictable. Wouldve liked to have her elongate the “chase”. Gus spent 5tears there and never saw her dad when he could literally see inside the house? Idk. A little slow at times. Its ok for a quick read4.5✨
