Title: Beach Read

Author: 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.

An invite to a book club opens up everything for January with a meeting with an old college nemesis/acquaintance, Gus.

They are both going through stuff as well as writers block. Yes, they are both authors!!!!

This story was utterly captivating! I listened to the audio and gobbled it up in a day!

Just a short one from me but I will say that their chemistry was off the charts and I was rooting for them with every word and sentence!
