Description

About the Book:

Beach Read by Emily Henry is a delightful and witty novel about two writers with drastically different approaches to storytelling. Augustus Everett, a celebrated author of literary fiction known for his dark and serious themes, finds himself living next door to January Andrews, a bestselling romance novelist who crafts happily-ever-afters. Despite their polar opposite styles, both are experiencing severe writer’s block and financial stress as they spend the summer in neighboring beach houses.

One evening, in an attempt to break their creative impasse, they strike an unconventional deal: Augustus will try his hand at writing a happy, romantic story, while January will tackle a serious, literary work. To help each other, January will take Augustus on rom-com worthy adventures, and he will introduce her to the grim world of his research, including interviewing surviving members of a death cult. The goal is simple—everyone finishes a book, and no one falls in love. However, as they delve into each other’s worlds, their preconceived notions begin to unravel, and they discover that their real-life story might just be one worth writing about.

Beach Read is a charming and heartwarming exploration of love, creativity, and the power of stepping out of one’s comfort zone.
