Book Review / Beach Read by Emily Henry


 

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.

MY REVIEW


What I loved about this story...  There's something about an Emily Henry novel that sucks me in every time.  Easy to read with a great romance, more often than not with two characters who come together in some way and are complete opposites.  This is one of those and I loved every minute of reading this.  

Would I recommend...  Definately!  A great summer (or any time of year) romance.
