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.

Het boek was leuk. Zou het niet snel aanraden aan anderen.
Zoals ik al bij andere bestellingen geschreven heb, werd ook dit boek in slechte staat toegestuurd. De kaft was opnieuw geplooid en de pagina’s verkreukeld. Ik koop geen boek van 13 euro om dat eentje te hebben wat in een slechtere staat is dan als ik het tweedehands zou kopen voor 4 euro.

This book is definitely a good “beach read.”
I am not much of a bookworm but I enjoyed this book & I stayed engaged & interested in the storyline.

Com toda certeza, um dos melhores livros que li durante todo o ano. A escrita é linda, a história é encantadora e os personagens são incríveis. A história consegue ultrapassar os limites de um livro de comédia romântica, sendo capaz de criar camadas complexas que vão muito além do romance.
Recebi a indicação como um livro leve para ser lido nas férias, acredito que isso pode interferir na experiência de alguém que deseja uma leitura simples, pois o livro tem diversos momentos complexos e introspectivos. Porém, para mim, foi uma grata surpresa.
Gostaria de ver livros como esse sendo traduzidos e lançados no Brasil.
O produto chegou sem defeitos, mas é bom destacar que a a qualidade dos livros internacionais é muito diferente dos brasileiros, com os quais estamos acostumados.

I ordered this book because it was a June 2020 Book of The Month pick. My box was already full with other new releases, so I opted to get it on Kindle instead after the book started to get good reviews in my BOTM circles!
I did not have high expectations for this book after the first couple of chapters, I’ll be honest. I was thinking it might be a solid 3 stars at best. However, I ended up REALLY liking it and it’s a definite 4 star-read for me! (I save 5 stars for books that are just phenomenal-it’s rare for me to think a book is worth all 5 coveted stars). In the beginning, the coincidences had me rolling my eyes. Come on, she just happens to land a beautiful free vacation home that is located right next door to a hunky fellow writer who ALSO just happens to be someone she went to school with and lusted over in college? One of those things, sure-but all of them? I also didn’t love January’s character in the beginning. But by the time she and Gus work out the details of their bet, I had started to like them both. By the end, I was 100% rooting for them both. The book seems to recognize and poke fun at its very own genre (women’s fiction/rom-com), but it’s smarter than a lot of books that I have read in this genre. The back-and-forth banter between January and Gus is fast, sarcastic, and witty. It’s refreshing for both characters in the relationship to be smart and talented in their own right! And finally, what bumped the book up in my estimation is that at the end, there are some nice observations about what it means to choose to be in a long-term relationship and what ‘happily ever after’ really looks like.
I do hope this book turns into a movie or mini-series because a screenplay will practically right itself. With the right casting, it would be great on-screen! There is a lot of tension between Gus and January for over half of the book and at the end, I could perfectly envision two different endings, either of which would have been in keeping with the story! That suspense over the ending (and my immense satisfaction with how she did choose to end the book) kept me hooked until the very end.
Overall, I can enthusiastically give this book a recommendation. It is exactly what I like in a summer read and I would say it’s worth the price for the Kindle version of the book! Yes, it’s light and fluffy, but it’s also smart and relatable. Definitely give it a try if you like this genre and want to know what all the buzz is about this summer!

Beach Read by Emily Henry is an enchanting and heartwarming tale that will leave you longing for sandy shores and a summer romance. In this delightful novel, January and Augustus find themselves as next-door neighbours, both struggling with writer’s block and personal demons.
As they embark on a bet to write in each other’s genres, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways. Henry’s writing is witty, full of banter, and filled with raw emotions that tug at your heartstrings. The chemistry between the characters is electric, and their journey of self-discovery and healing is beautifully depicted.
Beach Read is not your typical fluffy romance; it tackles deeper themes of grief, forgiveness, and the complexities of love. With its clever plot twists and a satisfying ending, this book is a perfect escape that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the power of second chances.

5⭐️, 1.5 🌶️ what a great story about finding good things right next door, even when your life is falling apart. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, and kicked my feet.

This book is a great book to read in the summer! I read it in 2 days and it got me out of my reading and writing slump! I owe Emily Henry for that! Love her books so much. This is the first one I read from her and I loved it. The romance was so cute.
The cover is fun and light hearted, but don’t let that fool you! It has lots of emotion and is way deeper than I expected. I love how the main character thinks and processes things, she’s a very realistic person.
The setting is so cute in a small town and beach houses. Both writers! Sooooo cute. The writing is also very good and I wish I could write like she does.

I’ve always been a non-fiction reader, diving into books to learn about various topics. But recently, I felt a new craving—to read just for the fun of it. I didn’t know where to start, so I read several book reviews at random and picked this book.
Wow, I didn’t want to put it down. The author’s writing style was captivating, and I enjoyed the character development. The story drew me in completely. And I found a joy in reading I didn’t know I was missing.

I saw this book so many times on amazon before buying it, because it was on the 2nd place in goodreads choice awards 2020 in Romantic genre, and was so interested on reading it, i even started reading it on my birthday’s eve, bc i went to a hotel to celebrate and all. I’ve seen it a lot on bookstagram and it has so many good reviews. I could not help buying it.
-Pros: A clear picture of the process of writting a book by a full-time writter, some quotes are phenomenal, the friendship between January and Shadi and how a true friend will go to rescue, inspiring to see how a person can accomplish a task/project that seems impossible or hard to finish, cope with problems, hope perspective on love matters, strong family boundaries.
-Cons: The romance was too much of a cliché for me, i can’t simply enjoy neither believe player male characters who are relationship-phobes to keep falling for the main female character and completely change for them and fall in love almost begging them, idk, it feels like the same old story changing characters everytime, that inevitably and predictably keeps happening in most love stories. I could not connect with none of the personalities, i could not tolerate January that much, she had no special traits as to amaze me for her story and was way too selfish, like, the story could no conclude until she received “explanations” of her father reassuring her he loved her in letters. I mean, he was a great father, he was there for her, there was no doubt he loved her, yet she stops talking to her mother, the victim, punishing her more just because she (January, the queen), was not aware of the situation happening between her parents. Totally unfair and selfish attitude, did not like at all, No human being is that perfect to give everything to their partner, sometimes that’s why people are unfaithful, and that has nothing to do with the kids; i felt like the same line complaining of her father was rewinding all the story long. It was too predictable, no mistery to me, no surprise. I did no like the connection between January and Gus neither. Did not feel goose bumps when they had their moments.
It was obvious they were falling in love since the first chapters. Two adults alone in a beach city, both single, spending weekends together, and flirting all the time, just because they said they weren’t falling in love wasn’t going to distract from the obvious, so it was very much predictable.
I don’t pretend to be hurtful, this is just my personal opinion. I don’t think i’ll read any other books by the author, idk if I’m in a moment of my life where I’m not much into romance, but i did not enjoy that much.
