Description
Beach Read by Emily Henry is a witty and emotional contemporary romance about two very different writers, one unforgettable summer and a challenge that begins to blur the line between rivalry and attraction.
January Andrews writes bestselling romance novels, while Augustus Everett is an acclaimed literary fiction author who has little interest in happy endings. When they unexpectedly find themselves living in neighbouring beach houses, both are struggling with writer's block and deadlines they cannot afford to miss.
They make a deal: January will try writing serious literary fiction, while Gus will attempt a romantic story with a happy ending. As they explore each other's worlds in search of inspiration, their competitive challenge gradually becomes something far more personal.
Funny, heartfelt and filled with sharp banter, Beach Read combines romance, emotional depth and memorable characters in one of Emily Henry's most popular novels.
